I won’t ever forget that night . It was crazy . All of us were up sitting in our living rooms just hanging out it was interesting feeling because you didn’t know until you knew exactly . You heard all these things . Your thoughts they were flying around . We had no clue they went to that ,’’We were like this isn’t even a thing . Why were they on that bus? It’s Sunday we’re getting ready to wake up and practice.
It’s going to be wild It’s going to be weird seeing all the guys on the other side . I look at the friendships . I had. I miss those guys now. I’m building great relationships here, but you look back you miss the good old times - when you were younger in college- and your just having a good time. It was fun.

Following Virginia’s 42-14 loss to Maryland Friday September 15, 2023 Virginia Head Coach Tony Elliot, Offensive Coordinator Des Kitchings had this to say!
“The big thing you’ve seen in the last two weeks is we got to go make the plays,”
Obviously, in the second half it just snowballed on us,”
UVA’s second-year coach “We can’t wait for somebody else to make the play. We can’t hope that the team across the field doesn’t make the play. We have to go make the play. And so I’ve got to do a better job of reaching them and teaching them to help them understand the importance of every single play, especially in the fourth quarter.It’s a mindset. The mindset is that the longer I play, the stronger I get, the better I get, then also understanding that at that point in the game, effort’s not enough. There’s got to be precision. There’s precision and execution. Just going out there and playing hard is one component of it. You got to play hard, but you got to play smart, you got to be precise, and you got to go make the play. Bottom line, you got to go make the plays.
Following Virginia’s 42-14 loss to Maryland Friday September 15, 2023 Virginia Safety Jonas Sanker who led Virginia with 9 tackles had this to say!
I have full confidence in the offense,”“I know what they’re capable of, so there’s never any doubt, and I know they feel the same away about [the defense]. When we’re down like this, losing a tough game like this, that’s where that matters the most, just keeping that trust in each other. We’re going to do a great job [in practice]. We’re going to recover. We’re going to attack this next week, and I have a lot of hope and a lot of faith going into this next week.”
