  Tony Elliott, as offensive coordinator at Clemson, was pretty much a 50/50 run/pass guy, but Elliott and his offensive coordinator, Des Kitchings, inherit a Virginia offense that has nobody back on the O-line, and nobody in the running back room that has gotten any usage of note at the college level.

• The reason Brennan Armstrong returned: ‘Bottom line, win’
  You wouldn’t have blamed Brennan Armstrong for entering the transfer portal in December. His head coach did. His offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach did. His offensive line did.
