The University of Virginia’s College at Wise will not make the NAIA national playoffs this fall. However, the Highland Cavaliers still have a lot to play for.
UVa.-Wise (5-5) can secure its fourth straight winning season today with a win at Faulkner (Ala.) University in its regular season finale. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
The Cavs will look to bounce back from a 38-21 loss to the University of the Cumberlands (Ky.) last week that cost them the Mid-South Conference East Division title and a postseason bid. They are a heavy favorite against a Faulkner team that is just 1-9 and has struggled to keep teams out of the end zone.
It will be the final game for 15 UVa.-Wise seniors, including local products Brad Robbins (Powell Valley), Brad Ricker (John Battle) and Lance Ayers (Carroll County).
In his first and only season as UVa.-Wise’s starting quarterback, Robbins has thrown for 2,747 yards and 20 touchdowns.
