Virginia Cavaliers Football Primer: The Quarterbacks

We’re still counting down the days until the Virginia Cavaliers’ home opener against Richmond, and in the meantime we’re breaking down the Cavaliers’ quarterback situation. Mendenhall’s first season with the team was a trial and error sort of era with Matt Johns and Kurt Benkert. Benkert ultimately won the starting slot and stayed there through the 2017 season.
