1990, the last time Virginia football mattered in the slightest. That's rough. They should be a sleeping giant, but they have absolutely no real peak.
1990 housed the only 3 weeks UVA has ever been ranked in the top 5. All-time. Ever. How is that possible??? I consider the state of VA in that 2nd tier of smaller, yet fertile recruiting states, along with Louisiana, Ohio, and Georgia. Maybe LA and VA are in a 3rd tier behind those larger states, but still. Tons of talent comes out of VA Beach/Norfolk/Newport News.
