It took some time, but the Virginia Cavaliers finally got on the field and got a game—a win, even—under their belts. That’s good, because things get just a little bit tougher this week as the Hoos travel to face the top-ranked Clemson Tigers.
It’ll be a strange few days for the Hoos. It’s their first time traveling as a team during the pandemic. It’s also Clemson, the four time defending ACC champion and last year’s national runner-up. Oh, and they beat the Hoos 62-17 in last year’s ACC Championship game. Mental resilience—and a short term memory—is going to be just as important in the preparations as the physical practices themselves.
