Year two of the Tony Elliott era for the Virginia Cavaliers begins with a tough “neutral site” game against the Tennessee Volunteers. The game is in Nashville. As in, the capital of Tennessee. The Vols are borderline top-10 heading into the season. Virginia is…bad. The stadium is sold out. How many of those tickets went to Wahoo fans? Not many.
Tennessee finished 11-2 last year, with losses to Georgia and South Carolina. They beat a Pitt team that blew out the Wahoos, though they needed OT to do it. But they also beat Alabama, LSU, and Florida.
