Belief Built Virginia's Surge | Virginia Tech Hokie Football News

Virginia football’s explosive turnaround last season—vaulting from struggler to ACC title contender—was fueled by one word: belief. Head coach Tony Elliott credits the team’s focus on trust, both in the process and each other, for unlocking their potential despite outside noise. He’s learned to step back, empower his staff, and prioritize player development over ego. Quarterback Bo earned the starting nod after a fierce battle with Eli. While the running back position is uncertain without their top rusher, depth and competition abound. The offensive line returns three starters, with two breakout players adding strength. With the ACC growing more competitive and parity spreading, Elliott sees this as a chance to rise—and he’s thrilled about the elevated rivalry with Virginia Tech under James Franklin. This season, Virginia aims to build on their momentum, embrace the tougher conference, and prove they’re elite. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
