Tony Elliott Expects 'Great Test' for Virginia Football Against Missouri in the Gator Bowl
Virginia coach Tony Elliott is preparing a senior class with little bowl experience for the Dec. 27 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl against Missouri, featuring star RB Ahmad Hardy.
- Tony Elliott is using the Virginia Cavaliers' postseason practices to prepare the roster ahead of their Dec. 27 TaxSlayer Gator Bowl game against the Missouri Tigers, focusing on sending off seniors properly.
- Because most seniors lack bowl experience, Elliott leaned into extra practices, as all but one Virginia Cavaliers senior class member has never played in a bowl and the Virginia football program hasn't appeared since 2019.
- At EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST, with Missouri facing Virginia .
- A Gator Bowl win would lift Virginia to its first 11-win season, and Tony Elliott says the immediate goal is to celebrate seniors and provide a positive finale for coaching staff and players' families.
- Dec. 27 also continues Missouri's long bowl history, its 38th appearance, while Mizzou faces roster uncertainty with transfers and NFL decisions before Jan. 2; Adam Rittenberg, ESPN, projects a 26-19 win.
