Last year, the Virginia Cavaliers went 6-6, including a 42-14 victory over the Illini. So far, the Cavaliers are 1-0 with a win over Richmond and will face the Illini in Champaign. Let’s preview what Virginia will look like Saturday afternoon.

Coaching Staff

Since 2016, Bronco Mendenhall was the head coach of Virginia but resigned in the offseason and was replaced by Tony Elliot. Elliot was on the Clemson coaching staff for the past 11 years and the offensive coordinator for 7 years. He was a highly accomplished coordinator at Clemson and hopes to replicate this at Virginia.
