Assistant for Recruiting Kerri Cain Student Assistant Adam Shaker VIRGINIA FACTS UNIQUELY UVA The University of Virginia is an institution rich with history and tradition. Here is some of the terminology that contributes to UVA s culture. Grounds: The term used by students, faculty and alumni to refer to the University dating as far back as Thomas Jefferson. Campus is never used. First Year, Second Year, Third Year, Fourth Year: Instead of freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. Why you may ask? To be a senior implies that a person has reached the final phase of learning, a feat that Thomas Jefferson believed to be impossible, arguing instead that education is a life-long process. Commonwealth: Virginia is one of four constituent states of the United States of America that officially uses the name Commonwealth instead of the word state in all references. The other three commonwealths are Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. UNIVERSITY NICKNAMES Virginia s athletics teams have been accompanied by a somewhat confusing array of nicknames. The most prominent and widely accepted of these monikers are Cavaliers, Wahoos and Hoos. Although the terms Cavaliers, Wahoos and Hoos are used almost interchangeably to refer to University teams and players, Cavaliers is more often used by the media, while Wahoos and Hoos are frequently used by Virginia students and fans. Legend has it that Washington & Lee baseball fans dubbed the Virginia players Wahoos during the fiercely contested rivalry that existed between the two in-state schools in the 1890s. By 1940, Wahoos was in general use around Grounds to denote University students or events relating to them. The abbreviated Hoos sprang up later in student newspapers and has gained growing popularity in recent years. THE CAVALIER MASCOT The costumed Cavalier with a large character head debuted during Virginia s 1984 football season and has remained the official mascot of the University. The first documented Cavalier on horseback was Francis Bell, a Virginia student from Dublin, Va., in Bell rode onto the field dressed as Cavaliers for Virginia s home football game with Harvard on the afternoon of October 11. The Cavalier on horseback returned as the University s mascot in The UVA Polo Club provided both the horse and rider. However, the mounted Cavalier and his horse parted company in 1974 with the inception of AstroTurf at Scott Stadium. The mounted Cavalier made its return in the Florida Citrus Bowl at the end of the 1989 football season. Due to its instant popularity, the Cavalier on horseback returned the following season on a regular basis and continues to lead the Virginia football team onto the field at the beginning of all home games. UNIVERSITY COLORS Orange and blue were adopted as the University of Virginia s official athletic colors at a mass student meeting in UVA athletic teams had previously worn silver gray and cardinal red, but those colors did not stand out on muddy football fields, prompting a student movement to change them. One of the students attending the mass meeting was Allen Potts, a star athlete who played on Virginia s first football team in Potts showed up at the meeting wearing a navy blue-and-orange scarf that he had acquired during a summer boating expedition at Oxford University. Orange and blue were chosen as the official athletic colors after one of Potts fellow students pulled the scarf off Potts neck and, waving it to the crowd, yelled, How will this do? UVA later served as the inspiration for schools like Auburn and Florida when they selected school colors. WAH-HOO-WAH The origin of Wah-hoo-wah is uncertain. The cheer was used to root on Virginia teams as early as 1890 and may have been borrowed from Dartmouth College, whose athletics teams were once known as the Indians. Legend attributes the yell to Natalie Floyd Otey, who sang the ballad Where er You Are, There Shall My Love Be at Charlottesville s Levy Opera House in The predominantly student audience noticed that Otey warbled the first three words of the song between each of the stanzas and decided to join in the refrain. By evening s end, goes the legend, the crowd had corrupted Where er You Are into Wahhoo-wah. The Levy Opera House stands at the corner of High Street and Park Street and has since been renovated into an office building. 3

EARNED NOT GIVEN UVA head coach Bronco Mendenhall has brought an Earned Not Given mentality to the Virginia Football program. When winter workouts started, players wore all black and nothing affixed with a Virginia logo. Players had to earn the right to wear the blue and orange. Then had to earn the right to wear the Virginia logo. Everything from access to the locker room, to numbers was part of the new Earned Not Given mentality. Even when it came to practice, players had to earn the next period, repeating the previous period as many times as needed until the next period was earned. 6

Warren Craft and Ben Hogg are expected to make their collegiate debuts in Craft redshirted his first year at UVA in 2015, while Hogg is a walk-on who is in this redshirt sophomore season and hasn t made an appearance yet for the Cavaliers. David Eldridge saw time in seven games and caught two passes during his true freshman season in Ryan Santoro is a former walk-on who saw time on special teams in 2015 and made one catch while playing offense. MENDENHALL BRINGS FAST-PACED OFFENSE TO CHARLOTTESVILLE When UVA offensive coordinator Robert Anae rejoined Bronco Mendenhall s BYU staff in 2013, he brought a faster pace to the offense. Virginia will follow that lead and run its offense at a faster tempo in 2016 as it looks to increase the offensive output from recent years. In Mendenhall s 11 seasons as the head coach of BYU, his teams averaged over 400 yards of total offense per game for a season 10 times. UVA has only averaged over 400 yards of total offense twice over the last 16 seasons. UVA averaged yards of total offense per game in 2010 and yards per game in Under Mendenhall, BYU had a quarterback throw for over 3,000 yards in six of his 11 seasons in Provo. UVA in its history has never had a 3,000-yard passer in a season. The program record for a season by Cavalier quarterback is Matt Schaub s 2,976 yards in VIRGINIA CHANGES TO 3-4 DEFENSIVE SCHEME A new look for the Virginia defense in 2016 is the change from the 4-3 to 3-4 scheme. A lot of new faces will help usher in the defensive change as the Cavaliers have lost 150 career starts on defense with the graduation of David Dean (35), Demetrious Nicholson (35), Maurice Canady (34), Mike Moore (24), Trent Corney (11) and Kwontie Moore (11). NEW LOOK ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE The Virginia defensive line will have a fresh look in 2016 after losing 81 career starts to graduation. UVA graduated David Dean (35), Mike Moore (24), Trent Corney (11) and Kwontie Moore (11). Donte Wilkins returns with 10 career starts at defensive tackle, with five coming in Andrew Brown has started one career game, coming in BLANDING AND KISER RETURN TO ANCHOR DEFENSE FS Quin Blanding and ILB Micah Kiser return to anchor the UVA defense. The duo finished No. 1 and No. 2 in the ACC in tackles. Kiser (9.8) led the ACC in tackles and finished No. 17 nationally. Blanding (9.6) finished No. 2 in the ACC in tackles for the second year in a row and No. 22 nationally. Blanding and Kiser were the only teammates in all 10 FBS conferences to finish the 2015 season ranked No.1 and No. 2 in tackles in their respective leagues. Blanding and Kiser both were named first-team All-ACC honorees. It was the first time a UVA set of sophomores were named first-team All-ACC honorees since Terry Kirby and Chris Slade in BLANDING DOUBLES UP THE TACKLES UVA s Quin Blanding enters 2016 with 12 double-digit tackles games over 24 collegiate games. Blanding had six double-digit tackles games in 2016 and six as a freshman in Blanding has 238 career tackles, 9.92 per game. INTERCEPTIONS HAVE ELUDED UVA OF LATE Virginia owns the NCAA record with 39 straight games with an interception, a streak that covered four seasons ( ). However, of late the interception has been hard to come by for UVA. UVA s four picks in 2015 tied a program low and marked the second time in four seasons UVA only managed four picks (2012). Former UVA All-American and current Minnesota Viking Anthony Harris led the nation in 2013 with eight interceptions, but the rest of the team only managed two. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall comes in from BYU where his defenses failed to reach double figures in interceptions twice, 2005 and 2008, both times finishing with nine. CONTE ONE OF THE ACC S TOP PUNTERS Senior Nicholas Conte finished 2015 No. 2 in the ACC with a 44.7 yards per punt average. Conte, a former walk-on, is now on scholarship. As a high school punter Conte was an unknown until he secured the last spot at a UVA high school camp. He left with a preferred walk-on offer. Conte redshirted his first season in 2012, then did not appear in any games during 2013 or 2014 while Alec Vozenilek was UVA s punter. Conte made his collegiate debut in the Rose Bowl against UCLA in the 2015 season opener. Phil Steele has tabbed Conte as his preseason first-team All-ACC punter. SEVEN CAVALIERS FROM KEY POSITIONS OWN 30+ CAREER GAMES PLAYED Seven different position groups boast one player with at least 30 career games played at Virginia entering QB Matt Johns leads the way with 36, while 15 of those were strictly as the holder. TB Taquan Mizzell (34), OT Eric Smith, NT Donte Wilkins (33), Keeon Johnson (32), CB Tim Harris (31) and SS Kelvin Rainey (31) all have appeared in at least 30 career games for UVA. TB Taquan Smoke Mizzell rushed for 91 yards at Miami on Nov. 7 to become the 42nd Cavalier to amass at least 1,000 career rushing yards. 8

Opened in 1931, Scott Stadium might be one of the oldest campus college football stadiums in the nation, but you could never tell from its appearance. Numerous upgrades and expansions make it a modern home for the Cavaliers and their fans. Scott Stadium was the gift of Frederic William Scott and Elisabeth Strother Scott, and was dedicated to the memory of his parents, Frederic Robert Scott and Frances Branch Scott. Virginia played its dedication game at Scott Stadium on Oct. 15, 1931 against the Virginia Military Institute before a then-capacity crowd of 22,000.

14 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL BRONCO MENDENHALL Bronco Mendenhall Head Coach First Season Bronco Mendenhall was named Virginia s head football coach on Dec. 4, He served as the head football coach at Brigham Young University for 11 years before joining the Cavalier program. Mendenhall, Virginia s 40th head football coach, has compiled an overall record of in his 11 seasons as head coach at BYU to rank 12th in total wins among all FBS teams during that time. Mendenhall also ranks 13th in winning percentage (.697) among all active coaches with at least five years of FBS experience, and he ranks 10th among active coaches with at least 10 years of experience. In the three seasons prior to Mendenhall becoming the head coach at BYU, the Cougars compiled an overall record of Over the last 11 years, the Cougars are one of only 11 programs to advance to a bowl game each season (includes the 2015 season). BYU is joined by Alabama, Boise State, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin on that list. Among those 11 teams, only Florida State has achieved more bowl wins (seven) than BYU s six bowl game victories. BYU football student-athletes have earned freshman All-America recognition in eight of the past 10 seasons. More than 60 BYU players have signed with NFL teams since Mendenhall arrived in Provo, including defensive end Ezekiel Ansah, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft and Kyle Van Noy, the No. 40 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Under Mendenhall, the Cougars tied for seventh among all FBS programs for the most Academic All-America citations over the last decade and BYU tops all FBS programs with the most selections (39) to the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society (recognizing starters and significant contributors finishing their eligibility with a 3.2 GPA or better over their college career) since the program began in The success of Mendenhall s leadership approach in running the BYU football program has been highlighted in a management book, Running Into the Wind: Bronco Mendenhall -- 5 Strategies for Building a Successful Team, written by Alyson Von Feldt and Paul Gustavson, a leading management consultant specializing in leadership development and organizational design. Mendenhall was elected in 2013 to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees as the District 8 Representative and also serves on the AFCA Ethics Committee. In his first year in 2005 after taking over a program coming off three losing seasons, Mendenhall led BYU to a 6-5 regular-season record and earned an invitation to the Maaco Bowl Las Vegas -- the team s first postseason bowl appearance in three seasons. The Cougars finished tied for second in the MWC with a 5-3 league ledger. Following the 2006 season, Mendenhall was named the American Football Coaches Association Region IV Coach of the Year. In addition, the Football Writers Association of America named Mendenhall one of nine finalists for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award. A dominant defense led BYU to its seventh winning season in as many years as the BYU football team finished the 2012 season with eight wins, a program-best fourth consecutive bowl victory and the No. 3 defense in the nation. With an 8-5 record, BYU claimed its sixth season with as least eight wins under Mendenhall s eight-year head coaching tenure. Incredibly consistent all year long, BYU finished the year ranked No. 3 in total defense, allowing just yards per game. The Cougars ended the season ranked in the top four in five major defensive categories. Mendenhall has served as the BYU s defensive coordinator for much of his tenure as the head coach. He returned to a full-time role with the defense again in During his tenure in Provo, the Cougars have consistently fielded one of the nation s strongest defenses. Mendenhall s defense excels at keeping opponents out of the end zone. Entering the 2015 season, they averaged a No. 20 national ranking in scoring defense while he oversees the defense, including three top-10 ratings.

15 2016 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL FUN FACTS FUN FACTS UVA S EARLY FOOTBALL HISTORY AT LAMBETH FIELD The colonnades at Lambeth Field turn 103 in The playing surface at Lambeth Field hosted Virginia football from 1902 until Scott Stadium opened up in the midst of the 1931 season on Oct. 15, Lambeth Field is the location where the American game of football that we know today, played from youth league all the way up to the NFL, was first played. It all started in 1909 with the death of UVA s Archer Christian. Christian died in 1909 as a result of injuries sustained in a football game at Georgetown on Nov. 13, Christian s death highlighted 29 football related deaths during the 1909 season. Papers from all over the country carried the front-page headline of Christian s death. Former UVA President Edwin A. Alderman and the father of UV athletics, William Lambeth, went to New York City to meet with other presidents and administrators from other big time universities to discuss how they could make the game of football safer. At the time there was legislation happening in Washington to make it illegal to play the game of football in America. A new rules committee that was appointed from that meeting in New York City included Lambeth and the father of American football, Walter Camp. Lambeth noted to the committee, which met almost on a monthly basis, that the two deaths he had seen personally were due to exhaustion. At the time there were no substitutions, if you came out you could no longer return. The original game had a lot of pulling and pushing. Players were not considered down until they really couldn t move under the pile. Lambeth suggested that the game be split into four quarters, totaling 15 minutes a piece and that players could substitute back in. Walter Camp s notes from the committee meetings credit Lambeth, in the margins, with these changes. The committee asked Lambeth to take the new rules back to the University of Virginia and experiment with them during the spring of On the Grounds of the University of Virginia, under the watchful eye of William Lambeth, a new version of American football, divided into four quarters was played for the first time in history. Other notable rules that were played for the first time that spring at Lambeth Field were: seven men required on the line at the time of the snap, players could no longer push or pull the ball carrier and the forward pass could now be made across the line of scrimmage. Virginia football returned to its roots at Lambeth Field during camp in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, taking part in various scrimmages and practices on the hallowed ground.

17 2016 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL HONORS/WATCH LISTS DID YOU KNOW? UVA junior Quin Blanding was named by his mother Cory Lee after the movie titled The Mighty Quinn, staring Denzel Washington and Mimi Rogers. It was the first movie she saw following a checkup during her seventh month of pregnancy and the moment held significant meaning to her. At that checkup the doctor s told her they thought they saw a hole in Quin s head and that it appeared to them his cerebrum wasn t connected. Quin was born completely healthy. Cory named him Quin with one n instead of two in recognition of that moment during pregnancy. She knew he will be all right and that he will be the mighty one. Blanding s father, Kevin, played football at NCAA Division II Glenville State (W.Va.) for current Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez. When offensive coordinator Robert Anae finished playing football, he returned home to Hawaii and served as the body model for the towering stature of the father of surfing, Duke Kahanamoku, a five-time Olympian. The statue, created by artist Jan Fisher, is right next to the famous Waikiki Beach. Anae was a graduate assistant at Hawaii at the time and the artist needed a model, a surfer that was tall, and he went looking for the tallest surfer on the North Shore. UVA s oldest living football alum, Dr. John Risher, turned 106 years old this year; he also works in the press box on the UVA stats crew on game day. Matt Johns made his collegiate debut as the UVA holder in The first time Johns made it into a college game he had to hold in the rain on Ian Frye s 53-yard field goal in the 2013 season-opening win over BYU and now current UVA head coach Bronco Mendenhall. Frye s kick sailed through as time expired in the first half, tying the third-longest field goal in UVA history. Senior SS Kelvin Rainey has two brothers that have played FBS football. His older brother Johnathan played at New Mexico ( ), while his other older brother Derrick played at Arizona ( ). QB Connor Brewer spent two seasons playing for Rich Rodriguez at Arizona ( ). SS Kelvin Rainey s older brother, Derrick, spent four seasons ( ) playing at Arizona with his last two under Rodriguez.
