ACC Showdown Shocker: Which Dark Horse Could Topple Miami and Clemson This Season?
15. Virginia
- 2024 final TRACR rank: 15th
One scary thing: UVA has won three, three and five games in Tony Elliott’s tenure, and it doesn’t feel like anything drastic has changed for this season. Oft-criticized offensive coordinator Des Kitchings and defensive coordinator John Rudzinski have been with Elliott the whole time. The Hoos haven’t been fun or done anything all that compelling. It’s hard not to worry about atrophy. Also, No. 1 wideout Malachi Fields went to Notre Dame.
One exciting thing: The team does at least have a clear-cut No. 1 quarterback this year. Sixth-year TCU transfer Chandler Morris is the guy. He has not been a star, but he’s a capable starter, and the offense no longer has to lurch between Anthony Colandrea and Tony Muskett sharing the job.
