The hype machine is firing on all cylinders for Virginia Cavaliers football as we are less than two weeks from opening kickoff. The media—and I don’t even mean just us—are all in on Virginia, with many predicting the Hoos to win the Coastal for the first time ever, and some others taking even bolder stances, predicting the Hoos to win the ACC or even make the Orange Bowl.
So expectations are as high as they’ve ever been in Charlottesville. Alumni like former starting quarterback Kurt Benkert say that they feel all of this excitement even from afar.
