Make no mistake, Cavalier fans. If the Virginia offense produces at a high level during Bronco Mendenhall’s first season, senior running back Taquan Mizzell will be a big reason why.
The accolades speak for themselves. Last year, “Smoke” broke the ACC record for receiving yards (721) in a season by a running back. His 75 catches were second all-time in one season at UVa. He led UVA in rushing yards (671) and was second in the ACC in all-purpose yards (1,488).
