What does your dream college football road trip look like.

The former Fleming standout has moved on from a 2019 ACL injury that left him feeling not quite 100 percent in 2020.

The University of Virginia athletics department announced on Sunday that the football program has completed its 2020 season and will decline to participate in any postseason bowl game. Mendenhall is in his fifth season with the Cavaliers and under him, UVA has made three consecutive appearances in postseason bowl games. The Cavs were at the Military Bowl in 2017, the Belk Bowl in 2018 and the Orange Bowl in 2019. This is the first time in three years they will not participate in a postseason bowl game. I think it is appropriate for this team.”UVA was projected to participate in one of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s affiliated bowl games in 2020.

UVA’s riding a 4 game win streak where they’ve scored 44 , 31, 55 and 43 points. New quarterback Brennan Armstrong is playing like a veteran in the back half of his first season as a starter. The Hokies have been headed in the opposite direction..losers of four straight..and with an offense that’s been ravaged by injuries. Regardless..the veterans on the “Hoos defense are aware the potential is there, and the circumstances don’t matter on Saturday night. The Cavaliers and Hokies kick off from Lane Stadium in Blacksburg Saturday night at 8 p.m.

Charlottesville, Va. – The Cavaliers are in the midst of a season rebound of epic proportions. UVA’s 2020 plus one---is 1-4 Abilene Christian--an FCS opponent from West Texas- that has never traveled to Virginia--for any game. It’s not like all we need to prepare for a certain team, like yeah the game plan is going to change but the preparation is just on us,” Cavaliers defensive end Mandy Alonzo said. You got to tell these young guys like ‘every week is the same here at in this program’ you know, middle of the week’s gonna be really hard and you got to prepare hard to plan opponent every week,” Cavaliers tight end Grant Misch says. Abilene Christian and Virginia are set to kickoff at 4 p.m. from Scott Stadium.

Blacksburg, VA. – The Hokies have Pitt on deck, but it’s all pending the Covid situation. Pitt’s game with Georgia Tech was moved to December 12th as the team battles Covid issues. The Panthers paused football activities, but Hokies coach Justin Fuente says this ‘pending situation’ should not affect the teams preparation. Meanwhile Virginia has their lone departure from ACC play this weekend when they host FCS foe Abilene Christian. There weren’t many that could play or would play or had this date available to play," Bronco explained.

Charlottesville, Va. – Virginia will be two weeks removed from their 44-41 upset thriller over then 15th-ranked North Carolina. The unexpected covid delay on the Louisville visit left the Cavaliers with a big ball of momentum, and nowhere to roll. “It’s the same motivation week in and week out stay in detail we take it as an opportunity to study up a little bit more on Louisville before playing this weekend,” Cavaliers safety DeAngelo Amos says. Stopping the run game being able to contain that and getting after them is really something that is really key in this game. Louisville and Virginia kick off from Charlottesville Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Virginia’s trip to South Florida confirmed that the Cavaliers have the foundation to withstand the storm of a top 15 ranked opponent. But the five point loss, while a morale victory, still left the Cavs at a disappointing 1-4. The momentum in Miami centered around the return of starting quarterback Brennan Armstrong. The lefty dual threat signal caller brings the skills and the leadership to make the Cavs a much more dangerous group. The 'Heels check in 4-1 and ranked 15th, sporting a total offense that’s averaging 531 yards and nearly 38 points per game--that’s 8th in the nation.

With this particular team this particular year, but the output, like what we can contribute is really where they are. And man I, we had a meeting this morning early and they’re resilient, they’re tough and they’re anxious to play again,” Mendenhall explained.

UVA returned 9 starters from last year’s Orange Bowl squad, but they’ve fallen victim to a bushel of big plays to the tune of allowing nearly 35 points per game. The 4-1 Hurricanes counter with the big play swag that they were known for in their heyday. So going oh and four in your favorite stadium is probably not a great way to go out. So for me I’m excited for the opportunity and playing a great team and a great stadium I think guys are already to kind of get off the Schneid,” Virginia senior linebacker Charles Snowden says. The Cavaliers take on the Hurricanes beginning Saturday night at 8 p.m. from Miami Gardens, Florida.

Charlottesville, VA. – It doesn’t take a mathematician to understand why UVA is off to a 1-2 start. Starter Brennan Armstrong is in concussion protocol.

The system is why is speaks volumes that former Lord Botetourt standout Jake Dewease earned his number -- 51 last week. Jake just tries hard every day.

Now a redshirt freshman with the Cavaliers, Dewease was a 2-time all-state defensive back and all-state wide receiver under coach Jamie Harless at Lord Botetourt.

Charlottesville, VA. – The Wolfpack--are one of the those ACC predators which don’t cross paths with the Cavs very often. So it’s difficult, and and there’s certainly some unknowns and certainly adjusting that happens just as the game plays out." “I mean I think everybody’s good. And so you have to be on your a game at all times," Virginia defensive coordinator Nick Howell said. The Cavaliers take on the Wolfpack on noon Saturday from Scott Stadium in Charlottesville.

CLEMSON, S.C. – Trevor Lawrence was happy with Clemson's win over Virginia. Lawrence threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns as Clemson opened 3-0 for the sixth straight year with a 41-23 victory over the Cavaliers on Saturday night.

That's when Lawrence found Etienne for a final scoring throw to restore Clemson's momentum.

Charlottesville, Va. – When last we saw UVA in competition, they were giving top-ten Florida all they wanted in the Orange Bowl. “It’s kind of a blessing in disguise, I mean all this time before our first game.
