First Quarter

The opening quarter set the tone for what would be a dominant performance by the home team. The Cavaliers quickly established their ground game, scoring two rushing touchdowns to take an early lead. Harrison Waylee was instrumental in this period, breaking through for significant yardage and securing one of his three touchdowns on the day.

Second Quarter

Virginia continued to assert their dominance in the second quarter, adding four more touchdowns to their tally. Chandler Morris connected with John Rogers for a passing touchdown that highlighted Morris's precision and Rogers's agility. Meanwhile, Kameron Courtney made an impact both as a receiver and on special teams with key receptions and kick returns that kept momentum firmly on UVA's side.

Third Quarter

After halftime adjustments from both teams, William & Mary managed to find some rhythm offensively but were largely contained by Virginia’s defense led by Billy Koudelka’s sack efforts. Despite this pushback from WMU, UVA added another touchdown courtesy of J'Mari Taylor’s determined rush into the end zone.

Fourth Quarter

In the final quarter, both defenses tightened up significantly; however, UVA still managed to add points through Will Bettridge’s reliable field goal kicking. The Tribe could only muster two points from a safety as they struggled against Virginia's relentless defensive line featuring standout performances from Mitchell Melton and Devin Neal.

This comprehensive victory not only highlights key plays but also emphasizes different parts of gameplay where individual players shone brightly—such as Harrison Waylee’s explosive runs or Daniel Kaelin’s strategic quarterbacking despite facing pressure situations.
