Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong was included as one of 15 semifinalists for Maxwell Award for Collegiate Player of the Year. Armstrong is one of four representatives from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Former Virginia coach Al Groh was the freshman coach in 1970 when the university admitted its first African-American football players. Groh joins “The Jerry Ratcliffe Show” to kick off our podcast series, “No Shoulders to Stand On,” featuring the four – John Rainey, Kent Merritt, Stanley Land and Harrison Davis.

In one of the wildest shootouts in Virginia football history, and on a night when Brennan Armstrong became the Cavaliers’ single-season passing king in just nine games, turnovers spoiled Bronco Mendenhall’s emotional return to BYU.

If you’re looking for a key to tonight’s Virginia at No. 25 ranked BYU, look no further than the Cavaliers’ run defense.

Thomas Jones, Virginia’s legendary running back of the late 1990s, remembers the Cavaliers’ trip to Brigham Young in 1999 like it was yesterday.

If anyone should know all the particulars of playing a football game at BYU, it would be Robert Anae.

Expect a shootout out west. That’s what the panel for this week’s “Jerry Ratcliffe Show” – Jerry, plus Scott German and Chris Graham from #TeamAFP – are expecting. The show also breaks down UVA’s win over Georgia Tech and examines the state of the ACC as the calendar creeps toward November.

Brennan Armstrong is one of 40 quarterbacks named to the official Davey O’Brien QB Class of 2021. The designation makes him eligible to be voted as one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award.

Apparently, Tech didn’t understand how much a defense pays when it leaves UVA wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks uncovered or attempts to defend him with single coverage.

Virginia (6-2, 4-2 ACC) will play its final non-conference road game when it travels to No. 25 BYU (6-2) on Saturday night (Oct. 30). The game is scheduled to kick off on ESPN2 at 10:15 EST.

The obvious sidebar to Virginia’s visit to BYU on Saturday night is Bronco Mendenhall’s return to Provo, where he was head coach of the Cougars for 11 seasons (assistant for two).

Virginia wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wide Receiver of the Week for the second-straight week. It marks the third time this season a Virginia pass catcher has been honored by the league.

Seems like every game Brennan Armstrong plays, he sends the record-keepers reaching for the White Out. As his eye-popping numbers continue to swell, so do the accolades, the reputation.

Riding its longest conference winning streak since 2011, Virginia is starting to catch the eye of the nation’s football poll voters.

Let’s just call this Virginia offense what it is: “Dr. Bob’s Flying Circus.” Get your game tickets while they’re hot.

The Cavaliers rallied from an early deficit, exploded offensively and held on to sting ACC Coastal Division foe Georgia Tech, 48-40, in front of a loud, boisterous crowd of 45,837 at Scott Stadium.

Georgia Tech’s defense has carved out a reputation for an aggressive blitz package over the past couple of seasons, but the Yellow Jackets might want to think it over before throwing a bunch of blitzes at Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong on Saturday night.

Virginia fans will learn in just a few hours if the nation’s No. 1 offensive lineman, Lynchburg’s Zach Rice, will become a Wahoo. Rice, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound offensive tackle from Liberty Christian Academy, will announce his decision at 8:15 p.m. this evening.

Maybe it’s the curse of the 1990 Virginia football team on Georgia Tech, but since that fateful night 30 years ago, when the Yellow Jackets broke the No. 1 Cavaliers’ hearts, Scott Stadium has been a House of Horrors for Tech.

Virginia (5-2, 3-2 ACC) will be home for the second-straight week and host ACC foe Georgia Tech (3-3, 2-2 ACC) on Saturday at Scott Stadium. The contest is scheduled to air live on ACC Network at 7:30 p.m.
