Third-year safety Anthony Harris, who led the nation in interceptions with eight en route to All-ACC and All-America accolades, will be among nine returning starters on defense in 2014. PHOTO BY MATT RILEY/COURTESY UVA mitted signal-caller Corwin Cutler, who spent this year at Fork Union after signing with UVa last February, will be a factor in the fall, too. UVa's schedule does the Wahoos no favors, especially if they want to get off to a quick start next fall. The team will open the year at home against what is likely going to be a top-10 team now that quarterback Brett Hundley has announced he'll return to UCLA. From there, the Cavaliers will host Richmond a week later before heading to Provo, Utah, to face BYU again before closing out the non-conference schedule by playing Kent State in Charlottesville the following week. Though UVa doesn't have to play Clemson again in 2014, they will have to travel to Tallahassee to face defending national champion Florida State as part of an ACC schedule that features games at Duke, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, in addition to home contests against Miami, Pitt and Louisville. "It hurts, I'm not used to losing. Not a lot of guys are," Harold said of the 2013 campaign. "It is just something you have to deal with. It's life. You have to be resilient. "I will now attack everything like it's the last day of my life. … I have to try to lead the best I can and get everyone in the same mindset so we can turn this around and reach our goal of an ACC championship." ◆ MORGAN MOSES HELPED FIRST-YEAR OFFENSIVE LINEMEN PREPARE Morgan Moses sat in front of the media at John Paul Jones in late November, five days before his UVa football career came to an end. He sat alone, but he wanted the two true first-year tackles that he considers his brothers to watch. It was one of the final lessons he had to teach Sadiq Olanrewaju and Eric Smith. Moses, a 6-6, 335-pound left tackle, ended up being an All-ACC pick. Smith, a 6-5, 280-pounder, became the starter at right tackle following an early-season shakeup. When Moses was forced to exit games, Smith would move to the left side and Olanrewaju, a 6-6, 280-pounder, would fill in. Both of the first-year Wahoos say they learned a lot from "Big Mo," who heads to the 2014 NFL Combine knowing that's he leaving things in Charlottesville in good hands. "It's hard to come into college and play offensive line right away, especially offensive tackle as a true freshman," Moses said that afternoon. "You're facing arguably the best athletes on the field at defensive end, and for these two guys to come in and play right and left at the same time, it's kind of amazing." i24-26.Football Overview.indd 4 1/16/14 2:27 PM
