The last game of Virginia’s challenging September schedule is Friday night when Boise State comes to Scott Stadium. The Cavaliers beat William & Mary last week and hope that gives them something to build on.
The 35-29 triumph over the Tribe wasn’t all that pretty. But it was secured with a defensive stand in the final minutes, something coach Mike London’s team failed to do in a crushing loss to No. 6 Notre Dame a week earlier.
Virginia (1-2) led until the Fighting Irish completed a 39-yard touchdown pass with 12 seconds to play.
“Finishing and winning a football game, very, very important,” London said.
