It was not the cleanest performance, but the Tony Elliott era started off with a win for the Virginia football team. The Cavaliers started slowly before picking it up right before halftime on the way to a 34-17 victory over the Richmond Spiders. Although there were some scares in the second half, UVA managed to pull it out.
