In a game that had everything from defensive touchdowns to fake punts to leaping quarterbacks, it was fitting that it took three overtimes to decide the winner. But Virginia found a way to win at home, defeating Syracuse 44-38 and earning its first ACC win of the season.
What this win means for Virginia: Mike London needed this win in the worst way. The Cavaliers have hung around in games this season, losing late to Notre Dame on a long pass, and again last week to Pittsburgh. But this time, they came away on top in a close game.
