In a game that started out promising, with the Virginia Cavaliers scoring 21 points in the first quarter, the tide quickly turned when Pitt’s Jordan Whitehead picked off a Kurt Benkert pass and returned it 59 yards to give Pitt a 35-28 halftime lead. Virginia went cold in the second half, only mustering three points on a garbage time field goal before falling 45-31. The loss digs Virginia’s bowl eligibility hole even deeper. It will take a minor miracle from hereon out, but we remain optimistic. In case you missed here is what we were looking for, and here’s how it played out.
