The Virginia Cavaliers came up big when they had to and knocked off No. 16 Miami under the lights at Scott Stadium, 16-13. Virginia struggled offensively in the first half as Bryce Perkins threw three interceptions, but the defense was solid all day as they stifled the Hurricanes and picked off three interceptions of their own.
Perkins finished 12-for-21 for 92 yards, and rushed for another 61 yards in the game. Jordan Ellis had 61 yards and scored the lone touchdown for the Hoos. Brian Delaney was the real hero of the day, going a perfect 3-for-3 in field goals and connecting on makes of 26, 46, and 32 yards.
