File-This Nov. 4, 2017, file photo shows Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall reacting after a win over Georgia Tech in an NCAA college football game in Charlottesville, Va. Mendenhall said the extra practices have been critical to the development of the team's up-and-coming players as he tries to build the program, but for seniors like safety Juan Thornhill, who will be playing his final game, much more is at stake in the year the leaders have hyped a `new standard' for Virginia.

Perkins wasn't with Virginia when the Cavaliers made their first bowl appearance in six years last season, but he's heard enough about it to be in tune with what to push them to do differently this time around.
