Notes and observations from the first week of Virginia football fall camp practices, including quotes from UVA head coach Tony Elliott and offensive coordinator Des Kitchings.
fall camp are in the books and things are starting to take shape for the Cavaliers as they prepare for year 3 under Tony Elliott. We've collected some noteworthy observations and takeaways, quotes from Elliott and offensive coordinator Des Kitchings, and other notes from the first week of fall camp.
"The unselfishness of them both, right, encouraging each other, because we talk about 'we're competing', but we're not competing against each other," Kitchings said of Muskett and Colandrea. "It's not quarterback versus quarterback. It's not offense versus defense. It's us competing together as a team to make us better. As both of them escalate their play, it only escalates the play of our offense.
"I see him being smarter with the football. There's a wow play, he's gonna make a wow play, but we gotta eliminate the "oh crap" play from that standpoint and balancing that out," Kitchings said of Colandrea. "Your objective is just to move us down the field and put points on the board. It could be ugly, it can be pretty, but let's just get it done."
One position group with some uncertainty is running back, where Kobe Pace is essentially a lock to be the starter, but there is much to be determined behind him on the depth chart. Kitchings noted that Pace has gotten "comfortable with his vision", which the Cavaliers are hoping is an indicator that Pace is poised to power a running game that is in desperate need of a resurgent season in 2024.
