Despite being separated by less than 175 miles, Virginia will meet in-state foe Norfolk State for the first time. The Spartans are led by former Virginia Tech standout quarterback and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Michael Vick. A native of Newport News, Vick enjoyed a 13-year playing career in the NFL, including 11 seasons combined with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. The Spartans finished 1-11 in their first season under Vick in 2025. The Cavaliers are winners of seven of their last eight matchups against first-time opponents and nine straight games against FCS opponents. UVA's last loss to an FCS team was a 37-20 setback to Richmond in 2016.
