Jones impressed with Virginia’s new quarterback

After seeing Virginia pull off a comeback victory against Duke last Saturday, Clemson redshirt sophomore linebacker Mike Jones Jr. is impressed by the resiliency Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong showed in his first career start.

Armstrong threw an interception in the second and third quarters, and Virginia trailed by three points entering the final frame. However, Armstrong stepped up down the stretch, tossing touchdown passes of 18 and 26 yards to Lavel Davis Jr. in the fourth quarter as he led the Cavaliers to a 38-20 win in Charlottesville, Va.

Armstrong finished the game 24-of-45 passing for 269 yards and the pair of touchdowns and picks.
