The Virginia Cavaliers is the college football program of the University of Virginia, competing in the NCAA Division I-A and the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The first ever Virginia Cavalier squad was formed in 1888 and tallied a 2-1 win-loss record. Virginia remained in the independent scene until 1906, then became a member of Southern Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1907, and captured its first ever conference championship by 1908. The school switched affiliations in 1922, joining the Southern Conference then became independent again by 1938.


After some serious discussions, Virginia was finally admitted by the ACC on Dec. 4, 1953. The Cavaliers encountered a rough drought in the ACC with 9 losing seasons highlighted by a 3-year, 28-game losing streak that began in the team's third game of 1958 up to the 1961 opener which saw Virginia defeat William & Mary to the tune of 21-6. It wasn't until George Welsh was at the helm in the 1980's that the Cavaliers became more competitive. In 1984, the Cavs turn out an 8-2-2 season capped by a Peach Bowl victory over Purdue, 27-24.It was all uphill for Virginia afterwards as the team won six more Bowl games ('87,'94,'95,2002,2003,2005)and two conference championships ('89 and '95).
