Virginia football adds Abilene Christian to 2020 schedule

The Virginia Cavaliers announced Friday that FCS program Abilene Christian will become UVA’s eleventh game of the 2020 season.

The game against the Wildcats will be the weekend before Thanksgiving, closing out a four-game home stand that will run from UNC-Chapel Hill on October 31st through tilts against Louisville and Duke.

This will be the first ever meeting between UVA and Abilene Christian. ACU plays in the Southland Conference—home to recent power Sam Houston State—and finished 2019 with a record of 5-7. Head coach Adam Dorrel is in his fourth year in Abilene after leading Northwest Missouri State to three Division II championships.
