WE’RE GOING BOWLING!!! The Virginia Cavaliers (6-3, 3-2 ACC) played in their most dramatic game of the season, trading blows with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets before emerging victorious, 40-36.

Kurt Benkert finished with 260 yards and three touchdowns on 21-for-43 passing and Andre Levrone hauled in two TDs as the Cavaliers came from behind for the exciting win.

Unlike the last two weeks, the Hoos got off to a fast(er) start behind a 58-yard kickoff return by Joe Reed that led to a 36-yard field goal by first year AJ Mejia to give Virginia a 3-0 lead.
