Everything is officially official. The Virginia Cavaliers will be facing the Naval Academy Midshipmen in the 2017 Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman. This is Virginia’s 19th bowl game in the school’s history, and their first since 2011. With their selection to the Military Bowl - which benefits the USO - Virginia earned a spot in the postseason in head coach Bronco Mendenhall’s second season, showing improvement ahead of schedule for the Cavaliers.
There’s a lot of reasons to be excited about the Hoos heading to Annapolis.
It’s a great matchup
Yes, I know the Hoos have to travel to Annapolis and take on the Mids on their home field.
