The Virginia Cavaliers football team hasn’t played a game in 290 days. The program hasn’t suited up against an outside opponent since the tragic shooting on November 13th. But they will on Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers with the memories of Devin Chandler, D’Sean Perry, and Lavel Davis Jr. in their hearts and on their minds.
It’s the goal of turning tragedy into triumph which Tony Elliott described in the weeks following last November’s shooting that will be most prominent for the Wahoos on Saturday. That doesn’t mean results; it means opportunity.
“Every day is the triumph for us,” said Elliott in his press conference Tuesday afternoon.
