Virginia Cavaliers Prepare for Coastal Carolina Showdown

The Virginia Cavaliers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Maryland as they prepare for their first-ever matchup against Coastal Carolina. Quarterback Ethan Vasko has emerged as a strong leader for the Chanticleers, while Virginia's Anthony Colandrea struggles with turnovers, having thrown four interceptions this season. The running back depth favors Coastal Carolina, especially with Christian Washington's recent performance, although Virginia's duo of Kobe Pace and Xavier Brown has been effective. Key players to watch include Virginia's Malachi Fields, who needs to improve his consistency, and linebacker Nick Clary, who leads the team in tackles. Injury updates suggest uncertainty on the offensive line, impacting game strategy. As the Cavaliers aim for a win before their bye week, they face mounting pressure to address their weaknesses and improve their overall performance.
