CLEMSON – Tony Elliott played at Clemson, coached at Clemson and raised his family in Clemson, so everyone would understand if his return to Death Valley was an emotional one.
However, the third-year Virginia head coach said he was focused on one goal: coaching his current team to victory.
“Truthfully, there wasn't a ton of just emotion. To me, it's another game,” Tony Elliott said after Virginia’s 48-31 loss to Clemson. “It's great to see people before the game, but as I told the guys last night, my job is to stay focused, to focus on being the best person on myself so I could help this football team.
