And no one shone more than transfer running back J’Mari Taylor.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">A 5-foot-9, 204-pound grad transfer from North Carolina Central, Taylor finished his afternoon with 17 carries for 150 yards (8.8 yards per carry) and three touchdowns while adding a pair of receptions for 13 yards through the air.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor — who grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina — began his collegiate career at NCCU as a walk-on, fighting to make the team through a tryout in 2020. Four years later, Taylor would finish his time with the Eagles inside the program’s top ten in career rushing yards (1,882) before transferring to UVA this past offseason.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Powerful Run by North Carolina Central University RB J'Mari Taylor <a href="https://t.co/c3RHvYpvw1">pic.twitter.com/c3RHvYpvw1</a></p>— HBCU Premier Sports & More (@HBCUSports1) <a href="https://twitter.com/HBCUSports1/status/1604850828749438976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2022</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">“He’s just a good football player, and I think what you’re seeing in college football nowadays is there are really good football players at all levels,” Head Coach Tony Elliott said of Taylor on Saturday. “He’s played four years of college football prior to coming here, he was a starter for several years, [and] he’s very talented to begin with.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Last season for the Eagles, Taylor became NCCU’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2005, catching the eye of many coaches at the FBS level. And on Saturday, in front of a host of friends and family, the Charlotte native proved that his skillset — an explosive blend of power and elusiveness — absolutely translates to the higher level of competition.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor got his afternoon started Saturday with a 39-yard touchdown on a 4<sup>th</sup>-and-1 carry in the first quarter, bouncing off a pair of Wolfpack defenders at the line of scrimmage before accelerating past the NC State secondary.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">J'Mari Taylor breaks loose! 💨<br><br>📺 ESPN2 x <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UVAFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/T00zuuC3Xt">pic.twitter.com/T00zuuC3Xt</a></p>— ACC Football (@ACCFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/ACCFootball/status/1964360858521260429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor found pay dirt again later in the opening quarter, weaving through the line and lowering his shoulder to muscle through the NC State defense on a 9-yard touchdown.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Virginia!<br>-Chandler Morris to Jahmal Edrine 13 yards on 3rd & 11<br>-J'Mari Taylor 9 yard TD run!

He’s a pleaser, wants to do it right. So, all those qualities and characteristics are what allowed him to make the transition [to the FBS].”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor’s trio of touchdowns, after a pair of scores in the opener against Coastal Carolina, made him the first Cavalier to score at least four touchdowns in the first two games of a season since 2011. Perhaps even more impressively, Taylor forced 11 missed tackles on Saturday, a skill that might soon have the Virginia running back earning his way onto NFL Draft boards.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">J’Mari Taylor forced 11(!!) missed tackles against NC State and had 149 yards after contact.<br><br>Former NC Central RB who transferred to Virginia after a 15 TD season in 2024.

An underwhelming defensive effort, some special teams mishaps, and a critical late turnover cost the ’Hoos what could’ve been a 2-0 start to the season.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“I know there’s no moral victories, but we’re going to get on this bus [and] we’re not going to have our heads down,” Elliott said on the team’s mentality moving forward. “We’re going to stay encouraged. We’re going to stay positive. My challenge to the team is we either get bitter or we get better. We either get defined by this game or we get developed. And I’m choosing to get better. I’m choosing to get developed. And I believe those guys in the locker room will do the same thing.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Virginia will return home to Scott Stadium on Saturday for a noon kickoff against William & Mary.

In his first road start with the ‘Hoos, Morris put on a clinic, going 30-for-43 for 257 passing yards and a touchdown, including multiple clutch throws to keep the chains moving, with the offense finishing a whopping 13 for 19 on third down. His timely read option keepers helped balance the offense out with the help of a few long runs by J’Mari Taylor. The offensive line played a crucial part in that balanced attack, keeping Morris upright throughout the game while not allowing a single sack and opening lanes for each of UVA’s backs to break off big runs.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Morris continued to be steady, and while he made a tough mistake at the most important juncture of the game, he still showed he is everything the coaching staff and the fanbase hope he would be. Both sentiments can certainly be true, but it only makes the final result of this game tougher to swallow.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The positive spin on the performance of both Morris and the entire offense is that the ‘Hoos look equipped enough to keep pace with whoever they see on the schedule from a scoring perspective.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>J’Mari Taylor</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Through two games, Taylor has been even better than advertised. After a two-touchdown game in his Cavalier debut, Taylor was the offensive MVP in Raleigh with 150 rushing yards and three TD’s on only 17 carries. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🗣️ J'MARI TAYLOR IS HIM!!<br><br>This 66-yard run marks his third rushing TD of the day and ties his career long.<br><br>📺 ESPN2 <a href="https://t.co/4dH8INoQdB">pic.twitter.com/4dH8INoQdB</a></p>— Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball/status/1964393009199333507?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor’s breakout game was a breath of fresh air for an offense that has lacked the explosive play over the years, especially in the ground game. Coming into the contest, it seemed more likely that UVA would struggle to move the ball compared to a week ago due to NC State’s physicality in the trenches, but Taylor proved that expectation to be a sham, ripping off runs for 66, 39, and nine yards all for touchdowns.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The balanced offensive approach Tony Elliott and Des Kitchings have strived for over the years seems legitimate in 2025, and it’s largely due to the home run addition of Taylor.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>The pass catchers</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Trell Harris, Jahmal Edrine, Cam Ross, and Kam Courtney all shined apart of what was an explosive passing offense. Harris and Edrine led the team with seven and six catches, respectively with Edrine hauling in two highlight-reel catches on the final drive to keep UVA’s hopes alive.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Cam Ross picked up where he left off last weekend, both as a returner and a receiver, hanging in for tough catches while absorbing hits to finish with 40 yards on five catches. To put it simply, UVA needs to find every way to get the ball in #6’s hands by any means necessary and as often as possible. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Dillon Newton-Short filled in admirably as well, along with tight end Sage Ennis, who, after going down with what looked like another injury to his knee, came back into the game and pulled in a huge touchdown before the half.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Through two games, it already feels safe to say UVA has one of the top pass-catching groups across the ACC. Between the trio of Edrine, Harris, and Ross, the ‘Hoos have three number one receivers each capable of taking over when the opportunities present themselves.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>Des Kitchings</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Despite the justified complaints about the play calling in past seasons, Saturday was a mostly positive day from that standpoint. Kitchings showed some guts early on with his willingness to run the ball in a handful of third and medium to long situations. And to his credit, it worked for most of the game behind Taylor, Xavier Brown, and Noah Vaughn. Chandler Morris played with conviction and poise throughout the game, consistently hitting open receivers all day long. The ‘Hoos were not aggressive in forcing the ball down the field through the air, with Kitchings simply calling plays to take advantage of what NC State continued to give up, knowing Morris is a smart and savvy enough QB to conduct long drives for scores and hit for singles, rather than home runs.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none"> But on fourth and one from the NC State eight-yard line, Kitchings elected to toss the ball to the outside to Taylor, who was unable to convert. The injury to Grady Brosterhous and the inability to run UVA’s version of the “tush-push” showed up as clear as day in that moment, given that UVA would have put the ball in his hands with zero hesitation.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Overall, the offense accounted for 514 total yards and out gained the home team both on the ground and in the air. The ‘Hoos won the time of possession battle by nearly five minutes, but the red zone efficiency after a three-for-five day compared to NC State finding the end zone on all three of its chances is what will continue to be scrutinized based on previous years.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none">Stock Neutral</h2> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>Defensive line</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">The 90-degree heat meant the ‘Hoos needed contributions from a wide range of guys in the trenches and despite the hype going into the year about how strong this unit was likely to be, they struggled to get penetration for most of the day, but stood tall when it mattered most late in the fourth quarter.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">In NC State’s opener against ECU, running back Hollywood Smothers rushed for just 76 yards. The ‘Hoos allowed 140 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the sophomore, and 216 the Wolfpack overall.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The struggle to get any push was apparent and the handful of times UVA <em>was</em> able to penetrate, Smothers and the rest of the Wolfpack backs seemed to slip their way out of trouble and fall forward for three or four yards. The pass-rush was a step or two away from getting home on multiple occasions, but was unable to record a sack. The ‘Hoos got home only once in the opener.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The unit was able to dig in during the final two defensive possessions to force punts and give the offense multiple chances to hunt for the win, so we’ll keep them in the neutral category. </p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>Tony Elliott</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">The offense was ready once the contest kicked off — the defense…not so much.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">That said, the first half may have been one of, if not the best, halves of football the program has put together under Elliott. If you would have told this staff they would be up ten points despite looking completely lost on defense numerous times, there is no doubt they would take that straight to the bank.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The second half started in an all-too-familiar fashion with NC State scoring three touchdowns in the third quarter alone, and in relatively easy fashion. Judging from past years, had the Wolfpack continued to race out and take complete control early in the fourth quarter, I would not have been surprised. But the ‘Hoos continued to scrap despite an up-and-down defensive effort.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">To keep things honest, Elliott and the rest of the staff <em>did</em> manage the clock to perfection on UVA’s final offensive drive of the first half with Morris connecting with Ennis in the end zone to cap a seven-play, 27-yard drive that ate 2:27 off the clock and denied the Pack an opportunity to answer before the break.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">SAGE ENNIS, FIRST CAREER TD‼️<br><br>📺 ESPN2 <a href="https://t.co/YwzPuE52lT">pic.twitter.com/YwzPuE52lT</a></p>— Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball/status/1964380057998123091?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Elliott’s most scrutinized moment, on the other hand, came moments into the fourth quarter with the ‘Hoos trailing 35-31. Staring down a 4th and five on the Wolfpack 30, Elliott decided to bring on Will Bettridge, whose career-long is 47 yards, for a 47-yard try, instead of opting to give Morris and the offense a shot at converting. Bettridge notably missed off the upright, unlike the 52-yarder missed in week one, leaving the ‘Hoos empty-handed. Had the try gone through and shortened the deficit to one, perhaps the ‘Hoos would have gone on to attempt a field goal on that final drive instead of needing another touchdown.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Given how strong the offense had been on third down up to that point in the game and that NC State’s offense was on fire after scoring three straight touchdowns with little resistance by the Cavalier defense, opting to put the ball in Morris’s hands made plenty of sense. But again, clanging a kick off an upright is much different than missing five yards short. While the decision to kick ultimately did not work out, by no means did it flatline UVA’s chances of winning the game.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The chance to grab the win was right there in the end, and there comes a time when players have to make the plays on the field, past coaching decisions aside. Elliott was quick to mention the ’Hoos did not travel down Raleigh with any care for moral victories in his postgame presser, but this team still managed to take strides forward despite losing a game that the program badly needed to come up with at the start of a make-or-break season for Elliott and co.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>Stock Down</strong></h2> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>The secondary</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Bad angles doomed the ’Hoos on the outside and in the back end all game on the ground and through the air.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The entire unit looked out of sync on NC State’s initial possessions. From effortless completions on comeback routes to the sideline, to easy pitches and catches in open areas when the ‘Hoos played zone. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The Wolfpack were effective and working the edge on the ground, and without Kam Robinson in the lineup to help shut things down, they continued to attack the edge for consistent yardage. There were moments of confusion on run plays where gaps were left open from indecisiveness and poor angles to the ball, resulting in explosive runs by Smothers and multiple rushing touchdowns by CJ Bailey where he scampered into the end zone untouched.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The ‘Hoos looked strong at the position a week ago, but after week two, the back end looks like more of a question mark than a sure thing against relatively even competition, with the need for Antonio Clary’s return at safety now all the more critical.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>The program’s momentum</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Saturday was a massive opportunity for Tony Elliott and the program to continue to build excitement after a promising opener. Had the ‘Hoos pulled out a win, they would have been sitting pretty at 2-0 with two straight home games against two inferior opponents in William & Mary and Stanford approaching — the perfect stretch to get butts in seats and generate some serious buzz about this team, gone just like that.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The thought of this team potentially being 4-0 heading into a Friday night clash against a high-flying Florida State team really wasn’t all that crazy, and a 3-1 start is still likely at this point, with the potential for a great season absolutely still in the cards. However, it is hard not to think about how this win could have shifted the attitude around this year’s team among casual fans, who have been waiting for reasons to buy-in to the 2025 team, had the offense finished the job and silenced the Carter-Finley Stadium crowd.</p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Hayden Hundley</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Four takeaways from UVA football’s 35-31 loss to NC State]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42856/four-takeaways-from-uva-footballs-35-31-loss-to-nc-state" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42856</id> <updated>2025-09-06T17:19:03-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-06T17:19:03-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[The Virginia Cavaliers’ offense continued to look explosive against NC State on Saturday after scoring 48 points on Coastal Carolina last week.

A couple of poorly timed penalties and a missed field goal stained the Hoos’ offensive production in the second half, but moving the ball was never an issue. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Unfortunately, on the other side of the field, a lot of that was the same for the Wolfpack’s offense. Virginia struggled to tackle and contain NC State running back Hollywood Smother,s but the ‘Hoos defense still forced two punts at the end of the game, which gave Virginia’s offense the ball back with 2:12 remaining. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Chandler Morris quickly drove up the field after completing five passes for 69 yards in less than a minute, but made a grave error in the red zone. Morris threw his first interception this season to a defensive end in the end zone while tight end Dakota Twitty was open underneath. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Here are four takeaways from UVA’s exciting non-conference matchup against NC State. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oh no Chandler Morris…<br><br>NC State beats UVA in a NON-CONFERENCE clash <a href="https://t.co/BgTZBcykiJ">pic.twitter.com/BgTZBcykiJ</a></p>— Unnecessary Roughness (@UnnecRoughness) <a href="https://twitter.com/UnnecRoughness/status/1964407449042972842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>One bad mistake </strong>dooms the ‘Hoos</h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">One brutal mistake will plague Chandler Morris’s otherwise near-perfect performance on Saturday. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">He finished the game completing 30-of- 43 (70%) passes for a touchdown on top of 56 yards on the ground. The interception also ended what could’ve been his most impressive drive of the game. The North Texas transfer’s first two passes of the drive were impressively placed in between two defenders and his throw to Cam Ross on a crucial third down was put only where his receiver could grab it. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Still, the interception happened, and there is no excuse for it. Did it end the game? Yes, but the ‘Hoos still had lots of other opportunities to put it away. On the prior drive, J’Mari Taylor was just inches away from getting a first down that could’ve regained the lead for Virginia and on the drive before that, head coach Tony Elliot elected to try a 47-yard kick that rang off the post. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Elliot could’ve gone for it instead of kicking, or the exact opposite on the later drive. When a game is as close as this one, it’s never about just one play. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>J’Mari Taylor proves he’s a feature back</strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">After using an evenly balanced running game by committee against Coastal Carolina last week, there were still some questions left about which running back in Virginia’s stable was going to stand out. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Saturday’s performance from Taylor means it’s going to be hard for that to be anyone other than him. The North Carolina Central transfer ran through the Wolfpack’s defense all day, finishing with 150 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">J'Mari Taylor breaks loose! 💨<br><br>📺 ESPN2 x <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UVAFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/T00zuuC3Xt">pic.twitter.com/T00zuuC3Xt</a></p>— ACC Football (@ACCFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/ACCFootball/status/1964360858521260429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor has enough size and power to finish falling forward when running through the tackles but, also showed the ability to bounce an outside run for a big gain. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Taylor had two touchdown runs that gained over 39 yards. Xavier Brown, before exiting the game with a shoulder injury, and Noah Vaughn provided more production as well. That duo combined for 51 yards on 12 carries. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>Virginia’s front seven looks concerning </strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">For every big run Taylor had, it seemed like NC State had a response. The Wolfpack’s lead back, Hollywood Smothers, completed his game with an eerily similar stat line to Taylor’s. Smothers finished with 17 carries for 140 yards and two touchdowns, just 10 yards and a touchdown away from Taylor’s exact production. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hollywood Smothers is the first NC State player with 130+ rushing yards & two rushing touchdowns in a game since Reggie Gallaspy in 2018!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/1Pack1Goal?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#1Pack1Goal</a> <a href="https://t.co/wbK17Ivp3t">pic.twitter.com/wbK17Ivp3t</a></p>— NC State Football (@PackFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/PackFootball/status/1964395394428797249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 6, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">The ‘Hoos struggled to tackle through the first three quarters of the game, but that was only an issue when they were actually able to get their hands on Smothers. On a few of his runs, usually on counters or sweeps with a lead blocker, Smothers would dash through a hole without being touched. No Virginia player registered a sack or finished with more than three solo tackles. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">It’s easy to see that the ‘Hoos are missing linebacker Kam Robinson, who Elliot said “will miss a couple of games” with a fractured collarbone on August 18. Virginia’s pass rush was non-existent for the majority of the game, but edge rusher Daniel Rickert was able to disrupt a crucial pass on third down with 2:29 left in the game. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Still, one sack through the first two games of the season isn’t an encouraging sign moving forward. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>UVA’s offense is humming </strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Virginia finished with over 500 total yards in a game for the first time since a win over Richmond in 2022. While it stings that it wasn’t for a win, it should still be celebrated. The ‘Hoos had a perfect equilibrium of passing and rushing attack, finishing with 257 yards rushing and passing. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Morris was able to execute the quick passing game efficiently all afternoon, which forced the Wolfpack’s defense to creep up the field as drives progressed. His ability to get the ball out quickly opened the defense up for Taylor to gash through it. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The Cavaliers’ offensive line also kept Morris clean, not allowing a sack and only four hits. Cam Ross had another productive outing with five catches and 81 punt return yards. Trell Harris and Jahmal Edrine also worked hard to get themselves open throughout the game, finishing with a combined 13 catches for 120 yards. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The pieces are in place for Virginia’s offense to take a major step up this season. </p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Zach Carey</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[How to watch UVA football versus NC State]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42847/how-to-watch-uva-football-versus-nc-state" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42847</id> <updated>2025-09-06T10:20:31-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-06T10:19:46-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[Virginia Cavaliers vs. NC State Wolfpack HOW TO WATCH THE ‘HOOS: Location: Raleigh, NCDate: September 6Time: 12:00 PM ETChannel: ESPN2Spread: NCSU -2.5 Pregame Content 3 players, 2 matchups, and 1 prediction for Virginia football at NC State Five key players for UVA football versus NC State UVA football releases depth chart ahead of road test […]]]></summary> <content type="html"> <![CDATA[ <figure> <img alt="" data-caption="" data-portal-copyright="" data-has-syndication-rights="1" src="https://platform.streakingthelawn.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/153/2025/09/gettyimages-2233273616.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" /> <figcaption> </figcaption></figure><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="OEuUCM"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com">Virginia Cavaliers</a> vs. NC State Wolfpack</h2> <p><strong>HOW TO WATCH THE ‘HOOS:</strong></p> <p><strong>Location</strong>: Raleigh, NC<br><strong>Date</strong>: September 6<br><strong>Time</strong>: 12:00 PM ET<br><strong>Channel</strong>: ESPN2<br><strong>Spread: </strong>NCSU -2.5</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="yFZ4T9">Pregame Content</h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="tN62vq"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42809/virginia-cavaliers-uva-football-nc-state-preview-cj-bailey-justin-joly-brandon-cleveland">3 players, 2 matchups, and 1 prediction for Virginia football at NC State</a></h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42827/five-key-players-for-uva-football-versus-nc-state">Five key players for UVA football versus NC State</a></h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42794/virginia-football-virginia-cavaliers-uva-football-depth-chart-nc-state-chandler-morris">UVA football releases depth chart ahead of road test at NC State</a></h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42754/chandler-morris-is-a-full-go-ahead-of-uva-footballs-clash-vs-nc-state">Chandler Morris is a “full go” ahead of UVA Football’s clash vs. NC State</a></h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><a href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42821/virginia-football-set-as-2-5-point-underdog-versus-nc-state">Virginia football set as 2.5 point underdog versus NC State</a></h2> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="jwDKLn">Game Thread</h2> <p>The Virginia Cavaliers take the next step in their 2025 campaign on the road in an odd non-conference test against the NC State Wolfpack.

Virginia officially joined the conference after that inaugural season.</li> <li>UVA and the Wolfpack have met 60 times since the inaugural contest between the teams in 1904. The previous 50 games in the series (since 1958) have been part of the ACC schedule.</li> <li>The Wolfpack has won each of the last three meetings against the Cavaliers and five of the last six games. NC State holds a 37-22-1 advantage in the all-time series.</li> <li>The Cavaliers are seeking their first road win in Raleigh since 2012, a 33-6 victory that halted a six-game skid. The UVA defense held NC State to 19 yards rushing with three interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a safety in the contest. It sacked NCSU QB Mike Glennon five times and his backup once.</li> <li>Virginia is 9-17 all-time in true road games against NC State.</li> <li>For the first time since 1970 and fourth time ever, UVA plays at North Carolina, Duke and NC State in the same season.</li> <li>Virginia is looking to join Notre Dame and East Carolina as the only non-conference teams to defeat NC State at home since 2013.</li></ul> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Virginia had its highest point total since Tony Elliott took over the program in 2022 with a 48-7 win over Coastal Carolina ;ast weekend in Charlottesville. The 41-point margin of victory was the largest since defeating Duke 48-0 in 2021.</li> <li>Making his UVA debut, transfer wide receiver Cam Ross amassed 224 all-purpose yards and scored two touchdowns against Coastal Carolina. Ross matched a school record with a 100-yard kickoff return in the third quarter and hauled in seven passes for 124 yards with an additional score. He became the first college football player with 120 yards receiving and a kick return for a touchdown in the same game since 2020.</li> <li>Virginia is looking to start the season 2-0 in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2011 and 2012. UVA has only started the season 2-0 in back-to-back seasons four times since the inception of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1953, a span of 72 years. The Cavaliers started the 2024 season 4-1 and were receiving votes in the USA Today Coaches Poll for the first time since 2021.</li> <li>Virginia won three of its six road contests in 2024, the most since 2011. The Cavaliers are 5-10 in road games under Tony Elliott with a pair of wins over ranked ACC foes – No. 10 North Carolina in 2023 and No. 23 Pitt in 2024.</li> <li>This offseason, UVA added 32 transfers and 22 freshmen. Virginia leads the nation with 19 players who have been on a college football roster for at least six seasons, including three seventh-year players.</li> <li>The Cavaliers’ transfer portal class was ranked as high as No. 18 by Rivals.com. The class features numerous players who have garnered preseason national recognition, including Chandler Morris (QB), Jahmal Edrine (WR), Cam Ross (WR), Brady Wilson (OL), Cazeem Moore (DE), and Fisher Camac (DE).</li> <li>UVA is one of six Power-4 schools to return all 10 assistant coaches.

NC State is looking to start its season off with two wins for the first time since 2022, and Virginia is attempting to duplicate their start from last year in beating an ACC opponent (even though this particular game is a non-conference game) in week two to start its own season off 2-0. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Here are my five key players in Virginia’s matchup vs. NC State.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. QB Chandler Morris </h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Not having QB1 as a key player seems illegitimate from the jump, so here he is. Morris is healthy and expected to “play his tail off,” according to Tony Elliott, and he will need to for the ‘Hoos to claim victory Saturday afternoon. Where he becomes a “key” player will be his ability to use his legs on Saturday. NC State and their first-year defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot will most certainly bring pressure. Virginia needs to give Morris time, and QB1 needs to be able to move around the pocket and escape for a run when needed.</p><img src="https://platform.streakingthelawn.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/153/2025/09/TK305630.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" alt="" title="" data-has-syndication-rights="1" data-caption="" data-portal-copyright="" /><h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. DE Fisher Camac</h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Virginia totaled one sack and four total tackles for loss last week against an inferior and smaller Coastal Carolina team. All sacks and TFLs came from transfers, and Fisher Camac accounted for half a sack, half a TFL, and five total tackles. The senior DE from UNLV, along with the rest of the Cavaliers’ defensive line, will need to cause chaos in the backfield and pressure NC State QB MJ Morris.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. WR Cam Ross</h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Who else besides the MVP from Week 1? Cam Ross is that dude, and if he can provide week in and week out at wide receiver and be a trusted kickoff returner for Virginia, this team will at least be fun to watch. Virginia fans are owed an athlete who can excel in both areas, following the Chris Tyree experience.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. RB Xavier Brown </h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Xavier Brown didn’t have nearly the game he did last year against Coastal Carolina, when he rushed for 170 yards on Conway in 2024, but he will be an impactful player this season in Virginia’s backfield, so why not start this week? </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">NC State did well against ECU’s run game, only allowing 30 total rushing yards. UVA will need both J’Mari Taylor and Brown to contribute on Saturday, but I would love to see the physicality of Brown come out against the Wolfpack and really wear down that defense.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. K Will Bettridge </h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">Will Bettridge may need to prove his worth as a Campbell trophy nominee on Saturday. I don’t see a way this game isn’t close, and we may see No. 41 trotting onto the field late in the fourth quarter, attempting a meaningful field goal. The senior has posted an 85.7% success rate over his last two years, going 18-21 in both 2023 and 2024, and got his 2025 season off to a solid start, going 2-3 last week, with his lone miss coming from 52 yards.</p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Zach Carey</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Virginia football set as 2.5 point underdog versus NC State]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42821/virginia-football-set-as-2-5-point-underdog-versus-nc-state" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42821</id> <updated>2025-09-04T17:10:44-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-04T17:10:44-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[After the Virginia Cavaliers molly whopped the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers 48-7 in their season opener, they’re 2.5 point underdogs according to FanDuel ahead of this Saturday’s matchup against the NC State Wolfpack.

The Cavaliers’ offense came to life in the second quarter thanks to quarterback Chandler Morris connecting with wide receivers Cam Ross and Trell Harris for big plays. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“I thought he did a good job of settling in,” Tony Elliott said in weekly press conference on Tuesday. “Once he got settled, he was able to distribute the ball, manage the system, put together some scoring drives.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">While Morris went down with a left shoulder injury late in the third quarter, head coach Tony Elliott noted that Morris is a “full go” in practice this week and should be all set for Saturday’s matchup. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“My expectation is he’ll play his tail off,” Elliott said. “We’re gonna need him and he was back in practice yesterday in full go. So my expectation is that he has a great week of prep and he’s ready to go and brings his best game.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The Wolfpack started their season with a victory against the East Carolina Pirates, winning 24-17 behind quarterback CJ Bailey. Bailey threw for 318 yards (24-for-34), a touchdown, and an interception while adding 29 yards and another score on the ground. Receivers Wesley Grimes (four catches, 121 yards, one TD) and Teddy Hoffmann (five catches, 93 yards) were Bailey’s primary targets. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“Their receiving core is big,” Elliott said. “They’re all long guys. They’re fast. The quarterback’s got a cannon, so he can make every throw.” </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“We’re going to have to communicate,” he added. “We’re going to have to stay on top of routes. We’re going to have to get some pass rush.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The Wolfpack defense is led by new defensive coordinator DJ Eliot. Virginia’s Elliott was impressed by that group in their debut versus East Carolina.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“It looked like a group that had been playing together for a while, even though it’s new pieces,” he said. “They look very well coordinated. They were in position all night. They were flying around, playing fast.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">If the ‘Hoos could score an upset win against NC State and move to 2-0, that’d be huge for the team’s momentum. This season’s schedule is not daunting for Virginia, so picking up wins in some of these coin flips could put them in a favorable position down the stretch.</p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Dan Siegel</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[3 players, 2 matchups, and 1 prediction for Virginia football at NC State]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42809/virginia-cavaliers-uva-football-nc-state-preview-cj-bailey-justin-joly-brandon-cleveland" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42809</id> <updated>2025-09-03T23:59:03-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-04T09:02:00-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[Well, that was fun!

After an encouraging 48-7 trouncing of Coastal Carolina, the Virginia Cavaliers have a taller task ahead of them: NC State on the road.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">As you may have heard by now, this is a <em>non-conference</em> matchup between the pair of ACC teams. Shoutout to conference realignment and last minute scheduling modifications!</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Regardless, every game is pivotal for Tony Elliott and his long-term implications as the head coach of the UVA football program. Under Elliott, the ‘Hoos peaked at five wins in 2024, and as far as many see it, anything less than seven victories in the 2025 regular season (barring one of those wins being against Virginia Tech, perhaps) would put the writing on the wall for him.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">NC State ended up holding on against East Carolina in their opening game, 24-17. The Wolfpack started off with a commanding 17-0 lead in the first half, diminishing what was shaping up to be a hard-fought, emotional contest. Dave Doeren’s boys ended up taking their foot off the gas, allowing for the Pirates to provide a respectable showing, but the consensus among those that watched the game was that NCSU was clearly the better team.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Here’s what you need to know about this upcoming matchup:</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Players</h2> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>QB CJ Bailey</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Bailey is coming off of an erratic, yet impressive freshman season, and a similar week one, where he completed 24 of his 34 passes for 318 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, while adding 21 yards and a house call on the ground.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Bailey is an excellent runner, and especially difficult to bring down in the open field with his 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame and open field elusiveness. Even if that element is contained, Bailey is more than capable of sitting in the pocket and making accurate throws downfield. He showed the ability to remain poised and come through in the clutch multiple times in his freshman season.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">It must be said that there are still moments that Bailey’s youth proves to be evident. He threw 10 interceptions in 2024, and added another in the East Carolina game, which does not include a couple more throws that easily could have been turnovers as well. Bailey has the tendency to stare down receivers, which opponents have clearly noted in their scouting.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Watching CJ Bailey is an experience and we can expect to see some high highs and low lows during any given game.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>TE Justin Joly</strong></h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">Considering how increasingly rare it is to return major production at a skill position in college football, getting Joly back for his senior season is one of the best things NC State accomplished this offseason. After a monster year at UConn in 2023, Joly built on his success in 2024 for the Pack, hauling in 43 passes for 661 yards and four touchdowns.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">As another guy who moves well for his size, the 6-foot-3, 251-pounder is an exceptional route runner and particularly a deep threat. The preseason accolades are stacked for Joly: first-team all-ACC as well as on the watch list for the John Mackey Award (best tight end in college football) and Biletnikoff Award (nation’s best receiver). Analysts currently project Joly as a day two pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He is certainly a player to watch.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none">DL Brandon Cleveland</h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">In part II of our edition of “weird things that only exist in college football,” I present to you Brandon Cleveland, who was suspended for the first half of the opening game last week due to his participation in a fight versus ECU…in the season finale of 2024. While the 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive tackle was relatively quiet in the two quarters that he did play, his previous body of work puts him on this list.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Cleveland is the epitome of a traditional nose tackle, someone who will only rack up moderate sack totals but is especially disruptive in the run game. ECU’s between-the-tackles ground attack was held at bay all game, and this was especially true of the second half, where the Wolfpack defense did not allow a single run of 10+ yards.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none">Two Keys to Win</h2> <h4 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none">Let Chandler Morris sit back in the pocket and cook</h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">While NC State has a solid defense overall, there are some clear weaknesses that opponents can exploit with this roster. In particular, they can be aggressive to a fault, biting on double moves or over committing on run fits. Speedy wideouts like Cam Ross may be able to exploit that, especially without a guy like Aydan White in the Wolfpack secondary. TAhe play action will be Des Kitchings’ best friend on Saturday afternoon.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The offensive line giving Morris clean pockets consistently will be the key to maximizing this potential advantage. In the one week sample we have, the Cavaliers dominated in the trenches, and the Wolfpack generated somewhat limited pressure. Again, the intensity of this week two contest will be an entirely different animal, though.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Minimize NC State’s downfield passing game</h4> <p class="has-text-align-none">John Rudzinski’s number one priority has always been limiting explosiveness, but poor corner back play threw things off the rails in 2024. 2025 is off to a nice start, as Coastal’s longest play in the opener was a 24-yard pass in garbage time. However, NC State brings a lot more to the table in that respect.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">CJ Bailey was previously referred to as an “experience” and part of that experience will be boom-or-bust downfield shots. The previously discussed Justin Joly as well as speedster wideout Wesley Grimes can rip a 60+ yarder on you in a heartbeat.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Look for Rudzinski to open with a healthy diet of quarters and cover two looks, making the appropriate adjustments based on what the game entails. A deeper group of outside corners, plus an emerging ball hawking safety in Ethan Minter, should provide some reassurance.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-none"><strong>One Prediction</strong></h2> <p class="has-text-align-none">In a game that is highly entertaining for the neutral fan, and highly stressful for the UVA faithful, the ‘Hoos escape with a <strong>27-23</strong> <strong>win.</strong></p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Corbin Lathrop</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[UVA football releases depth chart ahead of road test at NC State]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42794/virginia-football-virginia-cavaliers-uva-football-depth-chart-nc-state-chandler-morris" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42794</id> <updated>2025-09-02T17:53:37-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-02T16:27:31-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[After an impressive season-opening 48-7 win over Coastal Carolina inside Scott Stadium on Saturday, Head Coach Tony Elliott and the Virginia Cavaliers released their updated depth chart on Tuesday ahead of this weekend’s road test at the NC State Wolfpack.

Thanks to Morris’s positive injury update, the ’Hoos managed to escape week one relatively injury-free, meaning there weren’t many changes to this week’s depth chart:</p> <p class="has-text-align-none"><strong>Running back Noah Vaughn</strong> worked his way onto the depth chart after a strong showing against the Chanticleers. The 5-foot-9, 199-pound junior wasn’t listed before week one, but ran for 45 yards on 10 carries against Coastal Carolina. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Vaughn appeared in eight games last season, including a start in the season finale at Virginia Tech, and it looks like he’s earned himself a bigger role moving forward.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none"><strong>Landon Danley</strong> is now listed ahead of Trey McDonald at middle linebacker. Danley and McDonald were listed as co-starters before week one, but Danley impressed with a team-high seven tackles against the Chanticleers and a huge hit on quarterback MJ Morris. </p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Nevertheless, McDonald should still see plenty of action against the Wolfpack as Virginia looks to stop a strong rushing attack led by Daylan Smothers.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none"><strong>Donovan Platt</strong> is now listed as a starter at cornerback. Platt wasn’t listed as a starter before week one, but Elliott said Tuesday that he’ll now rotate in with Jordan Robinson and Emmanuel Karnley. Platt, a transfer from Army, had two tackles and three pass break-ups in an impressive UVA debut against the Chanticleers.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none"><strong>Christian Charles</strong> is now an OR at starting free safety with Ethan Minter. Charles, a graduate transfer from Tennessee, had four tackles and one pass break-up on Saturday.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">With plenty of ’Hoos seeing action in week one thanks to Virginia’s decisive win over Coastal Carolina, there’s still a lot of ‘ORs’ on the depth chart. The rotation will continue to work itself out as the competition ramps up, beginning with this weekend’s tilt at NC State. Still, the plethora of options up and down the roster for Elliott to work with is a testament to Virginia’s improved depth in 2025.</p> ]]> </content> </entry> <entry> <author> <name>Corbin Lathrop</name> </author> <title type="html"><![CDATA[Breaking down Cam Ross’s historic Virginia football debut]]></title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://www.streakingthelawn.com/football/42751/virginia-football-virginia-cavaliers-football-cam-ross-tony-elliott-malik-washington" /> <id>https://www.streakingthelawn.com/?p=42751</id> <updated>2025-09-02T17:55:58-04:00</updated> <published>2025-09-02T14:51:53-04:00</published> <category scheme="https://www.streakingthelawn.com" term="Virginia Football" /> <summary type="html"><![CDATA[The Virginia Cavaliers erupted for 48 points (the most of any game in the Tony Elliott era) and 454 total yards of offense in Saturday evening’s season-opening blowout of Coastal Carolina to kick off the 2025 season on a major high note.

But it was another transfer portal addition, wide receiver and return man Cam Ross, who was the clear MVP for the ’Hoos on Saturday night.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Ross, who hit the portal this offseason after spending his 2024 season at James Madison, finished with seven receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown while impressing on special teams with a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in the third quarter.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">It’s little surprise that Ross quickly proved himself to be a difference-maker for the ’Hoos after generating a ton of buzz in camp this summer, impressing with his elite speed and work ethic.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“A couple days into practice,” Elliott said in his postgame press conference Saturday, “you saw that he’s a football player. He’s got really good football instincts [and] a great skill set as a receiver. Based on what [we] saw on film from JMU last year, and then the validation [in practice], [we knew] he would be able to make some plays for us. So, I’m just super excited for him.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">The 5-foot-10 Newark, Delaware, native got his night started with a snag along the sideline that turned into a 46-yard catch and run in the final seconds of the first quarter. Ross cut back across the middle of the field, making multiple Coastal Carolina defenders miss and showing off his blazing speed to jet past the Chanticleers’ secondary before getting dragged down at the one-yard line.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Later in the first half, Ross found pay dirt after Morris hit him in stride on a post route over the middle, allowing the former JMU speedster to go untouched into the end zone.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Cam Ross was the MVP of fall camp.<br><br>3 catches for 88 yards and a TD.<br><br>He might be in the running for season MVP if he keeps it up at this rate.<br> <a href="https://t.co/A5ztM0zQTD">pic.twitter.com/A5ztM0zQTD</a></p>— Preston Willett (@PrestonWillett) <a href="https://twitter.com/PrestonWillett/status/1961933978975260762?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 30, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Ross’s head-turning speed was the talk of camp, but his ability to run the whole route tree from both the slot and when lined up out wide stood out against the Chanticleers and drew an eye-opening postgame comparison from Elliott.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“He’s a guy that just came in and worked, and maybe some of the other guys might have been more talked about in terms of their transition coming in the door, but he’s just a workman,” Elliott said. “He reminds me a lot of Malik [Washington], and I said that before. They’re different, and he’s got a long way to go, obviously, because Malik did some exceptional things here, but he’s kind of cut from the same cloth.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">While no one expects Ross to replicate Malik Washington’s record-breaking 2023 season in which he set the Virginia program record for receptions (110) and receiving yards (1,426), for Elliott to compare him to the now Miami Dolphin speaks volumes about what we can expect from Ross.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">And like Washington in 2023, Ross provides a spark for the ’Hoos not only as a receiver but as a return ace on special teams. Ross’s 100-yard kickoff return touchdown in the third quarter was a school record and made him the first FBS player since 2020 to have 120 yards receiving and return a kick for a touchdown in the same game.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">⚡️ A SCHOOL RECORD 100-YARD RETURN FOR CAM ROSS ⚡️<br><br>He's got 224 all-purpose yards and two total TDs 💯<br><br>📺 ACC Network <a href="https://t.co/2QeqMJuyEm">pic.twitter.com/2QeqMJuyEm</a></p>— Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball/status/1961950078131737061?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 31, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">It’s been a long journey for Ross to find himself on the verge of a breakout season in Charlottesville. Then at UConn, Ross had a standout freshman campaign in 2019, finishing the season with 723 yards and four touchdowns. But injuries cut his seasons short in both 2021 and 2022, and he left the Huskies having started just 16 games over four seasons.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">With the Dukes last fall, Ross finally hit his groove once again at the collegiate level. He made nine starts at receiver and dazzled in the return game, averaging 28.2 yards per kickoff return and earning himself Third Team All-Sun Belt honors as a return specialist.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Now with Virginia, Ross has found the perfect place to shine as he nears the end of his collegiate career.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">“Since the second I stepped foot in the building, it was just nothing but open arms and a welcoming demeanor,” Ross said postgame Saturday. “Everybody’s great, from the top down. I can’t even express it enough, honestly. I feel like it goes into your performance. They make you feel good about yourself. They make you want to go out there and fight for them, fight for this program, fight for this university. I can’t say enough about the people here.”</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Ross was at the forefront of a retooled receiving group on Saturday evening that now looks like a clear strength for the ’Hoos. Big-bodied Purdue transfer Jahmal Edrine immediately showed why he should be considered an elite red-zone threat with a two-yard touchdown catch. And senior Trell Harris — who’s back after missing Virginia’s final eight games last season — got his campaign off to a stellar start as well, finishing with three grabs for 93 yards, including a highlight-reel one-handed snag late in the first half.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🤯 TRELL HARRIS, OH MY…<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SCTop10?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SCTop10</a><br><br>📺 ACC Network <a href="https://t.co/xj8UPjgnKH">pic.twitter.com/xj8UPjgnKH</a></p>— Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball/status/1961936454046621702?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 30, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">UVA’s red-hot offense will look to keep the early-season momentum going on the road this Saturday against NC State.

Chalk that up the ability for UVA to run the ball consistently against the Chants’, mixed-in with Morris’ experience and arm talent to put the ball in the right spots, at the right times, to a talented group of pass-catchers. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">CAM ROSS TO THE HOUSE‼️<br><br>Scott Stadium is ROCKIN'<br><br>📺 ACC Network <a href="https://t.co/MMvnkrWaV4">pic.twitter.com/MMvnkrWaV4</a></p>— Virginia Football (@UVAFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/UVAFootball/status/1961933432730071254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 30, 2025</a></blockquote></div></figure> <p class="has-text-align-none">Elliott also provided a positive update on linebacker Kam Robinson, who has missed the past few weeks with a shoulder injury, saying all signs point to Robinson participating in practice next week with a return likely coming against Stanford at Scott Stadium on September 20th. UVA notably hosts a rejuvenated Florida State team less than a week later on September 26th under the lights.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">Junior Landon Danley made his first start in place of Robinson in the opener and did so admirably, leading the team with seven total tackles. The ‘Hoos will need big performances from Danley, James Jackson, and the rest of the UVA linebackers against the likes of NC State’s CJ Bailey and Hollywood Smothers in the ground game. </p> ]]> </content> </entry> </feed> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
