The Virginia Cavaliers entered their Friday night tilt against Boise State as double-digit underdogs. But a 28-14 halftime lead only grew in the second half, and Bronco Mendenhall’s program is bringing its biggest win home from the blue turf.
Kurt Benkert stayed hot after his record-breaking performance against UConn, throwing for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns—including a 64-yard laser to Andre Levrone that expanded the lead to 21 on Virginia’s first drive of the second half. Jordan Ellis added 93 yards and 2 touchdowns on 24 carries, and Olamide Zaccheaus rounded out the scoring with a 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
