The Cavaliers achieved their highest rushing total since 1998, led by Brown's 171 yards and averaging 19 yards per carry, while overcoming a key quarterback injury.

  • The Virginia Cavaliers launched their 2025 season with a commanding 48-7 victory over Coastal Carolina on the evening of August 30th at their home venue.
  • The Cavaliers emphasized a run-first offense developed during training camp, led by key transfers and a retooled roster aiming to improve last season's ground struggles.
  • Virginia amassed 384 rushing yards, the most since 1998, featuring standout performances from J'Mari Taylor with two rushing touchdowns and Cam Ross scoring a 29-yard reception and a 100-yard kickoff return.
  • Starting quarterback Chandler Morris passed for 264 yards and scored two touchdowns before leaving the game early in the third quarter due to a helmet-to-helmet collision; he was replaced by Daniel Kaelin, a Nebraska transfer making his first college passing appearance.
  • Virginia's dominant performance with strong defense, special teams, and scoring depth highlights promise for coach Tony Elliott’s fourth year despite lingering concerns over Morris's health.
