Meanwhile, Morris continued to impress with his passing accuracy, completing passes at a rate of 70 percent.

Coastal Carolina managed to put points on the board in the third quarter with a single touchdown drive; however, it was overshadowed by Cam Ross's spectacular play. Ross electrified fans with an incredible 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that left spectators in awe and significantly boosted UVA’s lead.

As time wound down in the fourth quarter, Will Bettridge added two field goals to cement Virginia’s dominance over their opponents.
