Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.
2022 Recap:
We do not sugar coat things here at On The Card Sports, that being said UVA straight up sucked last year. This might be the worst college football preview because UVA was just a really, really bad team. They one only one game vs. teams outside of the state of Virginia and went on to finish with a 1-6 ACC record and 3-7 overall. The Cavaliers were top half of college football in defensive points allowed. Their points per game on offense though was ranked 126th out of 131 teams. Thoughts and Prayers though for the violence that took place on campus last year and to the players and students who were killed.
Head Coach:
Coach Tony Elliot had about as rough of a first year at UVA as a football coach can have year 1 into a program. He had a tragedy on campus, a very bad team on the field and a QB transfer out. I think he has the coaching knowledge and skills to bring the Cavaliers to respectability. Before landing at Charlottesville, Elliot was at Clemson since 2011 as a RB coach. Then eventually in 2015 he became Offensive Coordinator. That was when Clemson was a top 5 offense with Watson and Lawerence at QB. He has the right scheme to be very successful at Virginia after a few recruiting classes.
Key Players:
The best player for Virginia over the last few years, QB Brennan Armstrong transferred to conference rival N.C. State. I am guessing Jay Woolfolk Jr will be their new QB as he is the only one on the depth chart right now. Ethan Davies, Malachi Fields & Demick Starling are the starting WR and between them have only 9 career catches. There is only one other WR listed on the depth chart as of 4/29/23. It is a complete over haul in Virginia this year. They don’t have any production on offense coming back. The defensive depth chart is lacking several players in postions like cornerback, where there is one player listed on the roster. So to be honest I can’t really give you a Key Player or Players, just a wait and see.
2023 Prediction:
Again no lies told here, with the roster still in shambles and their schedule being what it is, 3 wins. That would be a goal to win 3 maybe 4 games this year. They could beat Boston College, William & Mary, maybe Va Tech and Georgia Tech. They aren’t beating any other teams on this schedule. It is not all bad UVA fans, these things take time. Elliot in 2 or 3 years will have his guys in his offensive scheme and they will be at the top of the ACC. But this year they will be one of the worst teams in the country.
