Welcome, everyone, to the official kickoff of Hoos Place’s 2021 football season preview. We’ve been working hard to provide Virginia football fans some of the most in-depth coverage available online (and for FREE no less!). We’ll spend the next month rolling out content, including position group reports, breakdowns of the offensive and defensive phases, and an overview of the schedule, before we wrap up with final thoughts on Virginia’s upcoming season.
We’re cautiously optimistic that this year will see far less disruption and weirdness than last season, though we’ll refuse to use the word “normal.” All the same, just as we did last year, we’ll approach our season coverage in as traditional a way as possible. As always, we welcome your feedback in the interest of providing Hoo fans the best possible preseason coverage.
