US EditionVirginia opens Year 4 under Tony Elliott by hosting Coastal Carolina
Virginia aims to secure a crucial non-conference victory to achieve bowl eligibility after finishing last season with a 5-7 record, entering as a double-digit favorite at home.
- On Saturday at 6 p.m. EDT, the Virginia Cavaliers host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in Charlottesville, Virginia to open the college football season.
- Tony Elliott, in his fourth season, has rebuilt the Virginia Cavaliers roster with 32 transfers and 22 freshmen, aiming to improve after a 5-7 finish last year and reach bowl eligibility this year.
- Virginia's offense features newcomer Chandler Morris, who threw for 3,774 yards and 31 TDs last year at North Texas, while Coastal Carolina named MJ Morris its starter and plans an air raid-style offense after a 6-7 season capped by a 44-15 bowl loss to UTSA.
- Oddsmakers and forecasters favor Virginia with a 70% win probability and BetMGM listing Virginia by 11 1/2; analysts project a two-touchdown win and recommend laying the points.
- Virginia also faces scheduling oddities, playing N.C. State in a non-conference game outside Atlantic Coast Conference standings, while its entire coaching staff returns after winning seven of their past eight season openers.
