Can special teams be a strength for UVA football?

The pundits will talk until they’re blue in the face during the preseason about quarterback battles, how an offensive line will hold up, and how many sacks a defense will get. But let’s not forget where football games are truly won and lost, where legends are made, and where kickers are handed sole responsibility for the outcome of a 60-minute game — special teams.

With that being said, the Virginia Cavaliers have a couple reliable veteran legs who will be booting the football this fall to go along with a new and improved return group. While question marks define much of the offense and defense, at least the special teams unit figures to be reliable.
