Virginia showed massive improvement under Bronco Mendenhall last season when it advanced to its first ACC Championship Game. The Cavaliers finished the year with a 9-5 record and advanced to the Orange Bowl.
Now the Cavaliers look to continue their rise in the ACC with 16 starters returning from last season. But they still need to replace several key starters from last year’s Coastal Divisional Champions.
Like everyone in the ACC the last five years, Virginia fell prey to Clemson with a 45-point loss in the ACC Championship Game. The Cavaliers hope to put on a better performance at Memorial Stadium on Sept.
