The Virginia Cavaliers are one of three ACC teams on UConn's non-conference slate.
Virginia Cavaliers
Head Coach: Bronco Mendenhall (1st year, 99-43 in 11 seasons at BYU)
Last Meeting: W, 45-10 at Rentschler Field
Series: 1-1 (first meeting was a 16-17 loss at Virginia)
2016 Game: Saturday, September 17 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field
Virginia's Strengths: The Cavaliers have a new coach, and he has quite the pedigree. While Virginia needs to regroup after losing a number of weapons, they do return their most explosive players on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
