UVA Continues to Struggle With Injuries

By this time in the season, college football programs across the country are struggling to keep players healthy and cleared to play; this is no different for the Cavaliers. This week, Elliott stated that he's hopeful for offensive lineman Ben York to be able to compete this weekend, but there is more uncertainty revolving around running back Noah Vaughn and wide receiver Jayden Thomas. Their ability to play seems to be up in the air at this time, but the Cavaliers have shown their ability to step in and fill the gaps at any given point.

Virginia coach Tony Elliott on injuries:

OL Ben York: hopeful will be back this week

RB Noah Vaughn - still struggling with ankle and not certain if he will be back this week.

WR Jayden Thomas: "We'll see what he can do in practice today."

Big Week for Kam Robinson

Junior linebacker Kam Robinson is undoubtedly one of UVA's greatest assets this year. His 2025 stats speak for themselves — 54 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and two pick-sixes. His latest pick-six took place during week ten when he returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown as time dwindled with 34 seconds on the clock. This was his second pick-six this year, and it was his third in his collegiate career. According to Preston Willett of The Sabre, Robinson is the only Power-4 player who has recorded two pick-sixes this season.

UVA linebacker Kam Robinson is one of only two players in the country with at least 54 tackles, 2+ sacks and 2+ interceptions.

Considering his stunning performance last week, it doesn't come as a major surprise that he was named ACC Linebacker of the Week for a third time this season. Per Virginia Sports, he is now the only player in UVA history to earn this title three times in the same year. Robinson hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, and with the end of the regular season looming, it will be interesting to see if he can finish his remaining matchups with the same level of momentum. Pressure is certainly on for Robinson entering the Virginia-Wake Forest matchup, but he is not one to give in.

UVA's week elevent kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST on Nov. 8 at Scott Stadium. Will the Cavaliers bring their record to 9-1 this weekend?
