For the Virginia football team in 2023, the running backs provided an area of veteran experience and leadership. With Mike Hollins, Perris Jones, and others in the backfield, Cavalier fans didn’t have to worry about this position much as it had tons of talent and depth. Now, fifth-year senior Kobe Pace is expected to take on a much larger role for the Virginia offense in 2024.
