With as many as 17 players returning with at least one start on their resume, this Virginia defense could be really nasty.

Virginia has a secret weapon that I don’t think is going to remain a secret for long. When Tony Poljan lines up at the tight end spot against Duke on Saturday afternoon, he’s going to immediately draw attention from his physical appearance alone.

For those who followed Micah Kiser’s career at the University of Virginia and saw how he was one of the ACC’s top tacklers each season, it came as no surprise that the former Cavalier linebacker was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday.

Injury has struck Duke’s secondary, as the Blue Devils announced they have lost two starting cornerbacks indefinitely just days before traveling to Charlottesville to open Virginia’s season.

After learning the ropes the past two seasons from a couple of guys who are now playing on Sundays, Virginia junior receiver Billy Kemp IV is getting his chance to shine.

Wayne Taulapapa, who improved as the season progressed in 2019, is back at the starting tailback spot. He’s backed up by Towson transfer Shane Simpson, who was a consensus 2018 All-American in FCS play, and by sophomore Perris Jones, who has played special teams.

After practicing for 12 weeks and having somewhat prepared for five different season-opening opponents, Bronco Mendenhall is holding his breath that his Virginia football team will actually get to play a game this Saturday afternoon against Duke.

Duke football coach David Cutcliffe has seen just about everything across his storied coaching career. You name it, he’s probably experienced it.

Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall revealed the Cavaliers’ depth chart for Saturday’s season opener against Duke on Monday.

With Brennan Armstrong named Virginia’s starting quarterback a few weeks ago, there have been questions launched at both offensive coordinator Robert Anae and quarterbacks coach Jason Beck about what roles transfer Keytaon Thompson and true freshman Ira Armstead might play in the Cavaliers’ offense.

Brennan Armstrong fits nicely into the role of Virginia’s new starter. If there are any questions about Armstrong’s abilities, then experts on UVA football should calm the nerves of its followers.

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Thursday that Virginia’s postponed road football game at Virginia Tech has been rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 12.

Fuente said Monday that he felt it was necessary to reach out to Mendenhall after last Saturday morning’s postponement.

Following the news Saturday morning that Virginia’s season-opening football game at Virginia Tech on Sept. 19 would be postponed due to Covid-19 issues with the Hokies’ football team, the Cavaliers will now face Duke in the opener on Sept. 26 in Charlottesville.

Virginia’s scheduled season-opening football game at Virginia Tech next Saturday has been postponed.

There have been no positive test results for the football program, which has tested 118 student-athletes, since the July 24 report. 

The veteran Virginia offensive coordinator, who was courted by Miami and Hawaii in the offseason, believes everything is centered around the quarterback.

Devin Darrington, Harvard’s leading rusher in 2019, announced on Twitter that he will be transferring to Virginia after he graduates from the Ivy League school next May.

The Los Angeles Rams signed former Cavalier quarterback Bryce Perkins to its practice squad, as did the Atlanta Falcons with former Wahoo signal-caller Kurt Benkert.

Bryce Perkins, who broke UVA’s career total-yardage record last season, was cut by the LA Rams, while the Atlanta Falcons cut Kurt Benkert, who started for the Cavaliers in 2016 and 2017.
