Tony Elliott says Louisville players ‘have a lot of juice’

Virginia’s Head Coach Tony Elliott spoke to the media about what he sees from the Louisville passing game.

You touched on the Louisville passing game. What makes them so good at it?

Tony: They’re really good. They're efficient. They're fast. The running backs are really good. They find the creases. And then they can hit the creases. And then they break tackles and they can go. So they've got a lot of juice, as we say in our meetings at the running back position. And their wideouts are extremely fast and they can also make contested plays down the field. If you get the ball and their tight ends, their tight ends can really run.

They've got great team speed. And the quarterback, he's an experienced guy. He looks very comfortable in the system. He gets the ball to the playmakers. And then he's got the ability to run, too.

So I think it's a combination of the system and then they do a great job of -- they challenge you too because they play in multiple personnels. They give you a lot of different sets. They challenge your discipline. They also challenge your toughness because they'll come right downhill at you. And then they've got great skill and tight ends that can really roll.

I think it's a combination of the scheme, the players and then you can see that the guys that they have just have a knack for -- there's certain guys you can watch on tape and see like he's got it, he's got that "it" factor where he knows how to make a big play.
