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
1947. 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 1963. 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 1888. 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 1888. 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 1893. 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.

Last Meeting
Matt Johns and Greyson Lambert each led two touchdown drives and Eli
Harold turned one of seven Richmond turnovers into a 22-yard touchdown
return as the Cavaliers topped Richmond, 45-13.
Johns threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Canaan Severin and hit Darius
Jennings for 45 yards to set up another score.
Lambert, a team captain who started for the second week in a row, directed
a 14-play, 76-yard drive to Kevin Parks’ 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter,
then threw a 29-yard scoring pass to Severin early in the fourth quarter.
Johns finished 4 for 7 for 65 yards with a TD and an interception. Lambert
was 13 of 15 for 102 yards with the TD, and both said winning matters more to
them than who gets to lead the way.

EARNED NOT GIVEN
• UVA head coach Bronco Mendenhall has brought an “Earned Not Given” mentality to the Virginia Football program.

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.

TEAM NOTES
NEW FACES AT WIDE RECEIVER FOR VIRGINIA IN 2016
• The wide receiver position in 2016 will feature many contributors who didn’t get much or any time in
2015.
• Only Olamide Zaccheaus (21 catches) and Keeon Johnson (13 catches) return in 2016 after playing
significant roles at wide receiver in 2015.
• Doni Dowling (one catch) and Andre Levrone (two catches) each missed bulks of time with injury in
2015. Levrone made 15 receptions in 2014 as a redshirt freshman.
• Warren Craft and Ben Hogg are expected to make their collegiate debuts in 2016. 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
2015. 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 404.8 yards of total offense per game in 2010 and 423.4 yards per game in 2004.
• 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 2002.
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 2014. Andrew Brown
has started one career game, coming in 2015.
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 1990.
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 2015.
• 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 (1993-96). 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 2016.
• 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.

SCOTT STADIUM, HOME OF THE CAVALIERS
The Carl Smith Center, home of David A. Harrison III Field at Scott Stadium, with
its unique architectural design, scenic setting on the University’s Grounds and
exceptional sight lines, is one of the nation’s finest college football settings.
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. Prior to that
season, the Cavaliers staged their home games at the University’s Lambeth Field.
Virginia has played 450 games in the historic venue. UVA’s all-time record at Scott
Stadium stands at 255-184-12.

2016 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL
TEAM NOTES
ZACCHEAUS EXCELS ON KICK RETURN IN 2015
• Wide Receiver Olamide Zaccheaus led UVA with 541 kick return yards as a true
freshman in 2015.
• Zaccheaus posted 231 kick return yards against Boise State, breaking the UVA
record for return yards in a game. He broke Marquis Weeks’ mark of 172 yards against
North Carolina in 2002.
• It was the second-most kick return yards in a game in the nation during all of 2015.
It was the most in a game by a player from a Power-Five school.
• The 231 yards is tied for the third-most return yards in a game in ACC history, tying
him with Leroy Gallman of Duke who had 231 against NC State in 1992.
• Olamide is Nigerian for “the blessing has come.”
BREAKING IN A NEW PLACEKICKER
• None of the UVA kickers on the 2016 roster has attempted a field goal in 2016. Dylan
Sims has appeared on kickoffs since the third game of the 2013 season.
• The last time Virginia entered a season without a player with on its roster that had
attempted a field goal attempt in his college career was 2012, when the two placekickers were Drew Jarrett and Ian Frye.

2016 VIRGINIA FOOTBALL
FUN FACTS
UVA’S EARLY FOOTBALL HISTORY AT LAMBETH FIELD
• The colonnades at Lambeth Field turn 103 in 2016. 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, 1931.
• 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,
1909. 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 1910.
• 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.
UVA ATHLETIC TRAINER FOR FOOTBALL IS ONE OF A FEW
• Virginia’s Kelli Pugh is one of 10 women at the FBS level that is their school’s sports medicine department’s primary care provider for football.
• Pugh is only one of four women at the FBS level that works with a Power-Five level program. Ariko Iso,
who was with the Pittsburgh Steelers for years, is with Oregon State. Sally Nogle works with Michigan
State and Kammy Powell took over football in 2016 at Minnesota.

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 2013. 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
(2008-11), while his other older brother
Derrick played at Arizona (2010-13).
• QB Connor Brewer spent two seasons
playing for Rich Rodriguez at Arizona (201314).
• SS Kelvin Rainey’s older brother, Derrick,
spent four seasons (2010-13) playing at
Arizona with his last two under Rodriguez.
In 2013 Kelvin Rainey’s brother, Derrick, was
teammates with Brewer.
