The Virginia Cavaliers became bowl eligible and picked up another big win in the ACC Coastal division as the Hoos rolled to a 31-21 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Cavaliers are now 6-2 (4-1 ACC) and in the driver’s seat in the Coastal after losses from Miami and Virginia Tech this week.
The sixth win of the season makes Virginia eligible for back-to-back bowl games for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
Bryce Perkins had another outstanding day for the Cavaliers, throwing for 217 yards and three touchdowns on 18-for-27 passing and adding 112 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
