Tony Muskett and Anthony Colandrea continue to battle to be Virginia's quarterback, but expectations are low no matter who lines up under center. The Cavaliers were picked by reporters to finish 16th in the 17-team Atlantic Coast Conference.

FILE - Virginia head coach Tony Elliott watches during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Miami, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023, in Miami Gardens, Fla. FILE - Virginia quarterback Anthony Colandrea prepares to take a snap during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Louisville in Louisville, Ky., Thursday, Nov. 9, 2023.

Elliott is 6-16 in his two seasons in Charlottesville, with a 3-12 mark in ACC play. This year’s squad was picked by reporters to finish 16th in the 17-team conference.Tony Muskett started last year as Virginia’s quarterback and represents the veteran option. He spent three seasons at Monmouth, starting games in each of them, before arriving as a transfer last year.

“Every year when you look at it they get it wrong,” the coach said of preseason predictions. “There are always teams picked to finish high that don’t finish high. There are always teams that are picked to finish low that don’t finish low.Virginia’s pass rush should get a boost from the return of Kam Butler, a defensive end who started last year with NFL buzz but saw his season end early due to a shoulder injury.

With Butler, Virginia recorded five sacks in its first four games. After that, the numbers dropped off, and the Cavaliers finished the season with the fewest sacks in the FBS. Butler’s 3 1/2 sacks ended up leading the team.
