Virginia football escapes with a dramatic 30-28 victory over Miami

Somehow, someway, the Virginia Cavaliers prevailed over the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday night in a back and forth game that had fans cursing their fandom one second before declaring their undying love for their school the next.

After Miami won the coin toss and deferred, Brennan Armstrong and the UVA offense took the field looking to get back on track after a sub-par performance against Wake Forest. With a clutch 3rd and 10 conversion on a 15-yard catch from Keytaon Thompson followed up by another near-identical Thompson reception on the next play, the offense got a bit of momentum going.
