After years of frustrating close losses, UVA could be trending upward sooner than expected.
Are the Cavaliers a sleeping giant?
Admittedly, calling UVA a “sleeping giant” these days might be bit of a stretch. But after enduring seasons of 5-7 and 4-8, there’s evidence to suggest that the Hoos are approaching a breakthrough. Bronco Mendenhall and his staff have raised the level of excitement and energy in Charlottesville. But just as important, the team has been on the cusp of success the last two seasons, and the pieces are in place for a turnaround.
To do that, however, Virginia will need to start winning close games.
