The Virginia Cavaliers football team held an open scrimmage for students to attend yesterday afternoon. Naturally, as the resident student beat writer, I figured this would be a pretty good opportunity to go and collect some useful intel as we get closer to the season opener next Saturday.
Notably, this was a situational scrimmage for the Wahoos. So the team was split into two with the scout team (largely third, fourth, and fifth stringers) on one side of the field and the ones and twos on the other side. Tony Elliott and his staff dictated the situation of every play prior to the snap, disregarding what actually occurred on the previous play in order to get the team comfortable with executing the ins and outs of any possible situation they could run into on game day.
