Tony Elliott has seen great maturity from Colandrea through the first two games of the Virginia football season.
Anthony Colandrea is currently on pace to throw for just under 4,000 yards, which would put him second in the Virginia history books for passing yards in a single season behind Brennan Armstrong's 2021 performance, where he threw for 4,449 yards.pass-happy offense, the sophomore has fit the part in the first two games of the season, showing immense maturity and improvement from last year.
One example Elliott gave of Colandrea's growth was the first interception, explaining how the unlucky play was intended to be Colandrea wisely checking down to his running back instead of trying to make the hero play, something he was known for last season as a true freshman. After the second interception, Wake Forest went down the field and hit a field goal to make it 30-17 before the Cavaliers punted on the next drive, as it looked as if the Virginia offense had run out of gas. In response, Colandrea fired up his team, producing back-to-back touchdown drives to give Virginia the victory, demonstrating Colandrea's leadership as only a sophomore and the rest of the offense's confidence in their quarterback.
