Virginia comes into the game with a record of 4-2 2-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is third in the Coastal Division!
Why?
Because Virginia topped Louisville 34-33 in Louisville Kentucky last Saturday!
For the second game in a row it came down to the final play and it worked out in Virginia’s favor in a dramatic 34-33 victory at Louisville. After Virginia scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to take a 34-33 with 22 seconds left in the game, the Cardinal marched down to their own 31-yard line to set up a potential game winning field goal. But James Turner’s 49-yard attempt sailed left of the uprights and the Hoos improved to 4-2. It was Virginia’s first win at Louisville in five trips.
Thanks to 20 unanswered points in the third quarter, Louisville entered the final 15 minutes leading 30-13. UVA quarterback Brennan Armstrong was masterful in three fourth-quarter scoring drives. He finished with 487 yards and three touchdown passes. Armstrong’s final throw found a wide open Grant Misch in the end zone to cap UVA’s final scoring drive. Virginia went 75 yards on 12 plays in two minutes to post the go-ahead lead.
