First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for the game as UVA quickly took control with a solid offensive drive that resulted in a touchdown. Chandler Morris led this charge with precise passing and effective rushing plays. His efforts were complemented by J'Mari Taylor's consistent ground game, which helped secure an early lead.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, UVA continued their dominance on both sides of the ball. The defense was relentless, with Maddox Marcellus contributing significantly by securing one of two interceptions during this period. This defensive prowess kept Tech scoreless through halftime.


Third Quarter


The third quarter saw UVA extend their lead further with another touchdown and a field goal by Will Bettridge from 32 yards out. Kameron Courtney made notable contributions in receiving yards during this period, helping maintain offensive momentum for the Hoos.


Fourth Quarter


Despite a late surge from Tech resulting in their only touchdown of the game, it was too little too late against UVA's formidable defense led by Antonio Clary’s interception and Daniel Rickert’s half sack performance. The final moments were marked by strategic play-calling that ensured possession remained largely with UVA until time expired.


For fans analyzing what went wrong for Virginia Cavaliers' opponents or seeking a detailed Virginia Cavaliers vs Virginia Tech Hokies scoreline review or result analysis: it was clear that defensive execution played an integral role throughout all quarters leading up to this outcome.
