The publisher of Wahoos 247, Jacquie Franciulli previews 2023 Virginia football provides a tall, half full glass of optimism for the upcoming season. Contrary to early season media rankings the Cavaliers are probably not a team that should be near the bottom of the ACC. There’s plenty of seasoned talent across the board but most specifically when it comes to defense. That’s where Franciulli gets into some depth immediately and lays out why the Wahoos will give opponents a hard time.

If you’re looking for question marks then zero in on the offensive line. That unit holds the key to the success of Virginia football via presumed starting quarterback Tony Muskett. It involves providing adequate time and a clean pocket to move the ball down field through the air. When it comes to the running game Virginia may be further ahead than most pundits imagined. It’s full of dynamic backs who can grind out yardage and who also have good hands that Muskett can use as an outlet as well.

Head football coach Tony Elliott’s staff has spent time cleaning up special teams, too. It was an area that presented problems last season but appears to have received a much needed shot in the arm.
