Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall addressed the media on Sunday evening following the announcement that the Cavaliers would be playing in the inaugural Wasabi Fenway Bowl against SMU on December 29, 2021.
“I really like the idea of going to Boston and playing a football game in that stadium,” he said at the top. “It’s a historic stadium, a really good matchup, and it just seemed like a really good opportunity to grow and advance UVA’s football program, so it made a lot of sense to me and I was hopeful that this would be the game we were selected for.
