In stressful fashion, the Virginia Cavaliers picked up a much-needed win against the Old Dominion Monarchs on a last second field goal that put the ‘Hoos up 16-14 as the final whistle sounded. Our five takeaways from a very weird result today:
Virginia picks up a necessary ugly win
Listen, beating an under-matched, in-state opponent is far better than losing to one. Unlike Virginia Tech in week one, UVA got the win against ODU and avoided a second loss in a row while still having plenty to improve on. This game took a turn for the worse, but the ‘Hoos handled the adversity and came out on top in a contest that they probably should’ve lost with a clutch six play, 66 yard drive in the final 55 seconds to win it on a 26-yard Brendan Farrell field goal.
