Five UVA football players who need to step up to upset Clemson

Owning a 4-2 record at the midway point of the season, the Virginia Cavaliers sit within striking distance of reaching the program’s first bowl game of the Tony Elliott era. The schedule does not get any easier in the back half with a trip to Clemson this weekend likely being the Cavaliers’ toughest test they’ll face all year.

Looking at who needs to step up for the ‘Hoos to pull off the upset.

Jam Jackson

Opposing quarterbacks have gone after Jackson more than any other Virginia defensive back this season. Through six games, the junior has been thrown at 45 times, 18 more than any other player in the UVA secondary.
