Kobe Pace is set to lead the charge for the Cavaliers on the ground
The losses in the running back group are notable, with the Cavaliers losing two of their top three backs from last season, in Mike Hollins and Perris Jones. The two combined for 667 yards and nine touchdowns in 2023, and with the two of them graduated, a void is open for new talent to takeover.
Despite their efforts, the Cavaliers only rushed for 1,415 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2023, ranking them second to last in the ACC in both categories, leaving room for significant improvement in 2024., the former Clemson transfer who served as the third running back last season, steps into the fold as the projected top running back in this Virginia offense. In 2023, Pace rushed for 382 yards while recording 19 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns.
In his second year at Clemson, Pace rushed for 641 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 6.12 yards per carry, evidence of extreme upside potential for the graduate student in his final collegiate season. UVA offensive coordinator Des Kitchingsin camp and with a improved offensive line led by center Brian Stevens, Pace could be set up to return to his peak level from the 2022 season.
