  Transfer quarterback Beau Pribula dazzled in his Virginia debut as the Cavaliers drilled visiting North Carolina State 34-8 in the season and ACC opener for both squads on Saturday at Scott Stadium. Pribula, who started his career at Penn State and played last season at Missouri, threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 110 yards, becoming the first Virginia quarterback to run for 100 yards in a game since Brennan Armstrong in 2022. Behind a balanced offense and stifling defense, the Cavaliers jumped out to a 17-0 lead headed into halftime.

Virginia, playing without star linebacker Kam Robinson (knee), had no trouble containing CJ Bailey and the Wolfpack. It opened the game with a pair of three-and-outs and then intercepted a tipped pass on NC State's third possession. The Wolfpack never threatened. Bailey finished 12 for 23 for 84 yards and an interception. He also lost a red-zone fumble. - AP College Football

  12/02/25 - Will Bettridge, rSr/2027, Virginia, 5-10, 191 (DS#16 K) + More +

  2025 JIM TATUM AWARD WINNER: Virginia senior placekicker Will Bettridge has been named the recipient of the 2025 Jim Tatum Award, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Monday. The award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete among the league's football players. Tatum, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year, coached in the 1950s at both Maryland and North Carolina and believed strongly in the concept of the student-athlete. A standout on and off the field, Virginia's Bettridge is a William V. Campbell Trophy Semifinalist and three-time ACC All-Academic team member and has earned ACC Academic Honor Roll recognition. He was named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Football team and served as Virginia's nominee for both the Wuerffel Trophy and the All-State Good Works Team in 2024, all while majoring in foreign affairs with a minor in entrepreneurship.

On the field, he has been a key contributor to a Virginia team that is 10-2 overall and 7-1 in ACC play, matching the program's single-season records for both overall and conference wins, and will play in the 2025 ACC Football Championship Game on Saturday, December 6, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Individually, he ranks third on Virginia's all-time scoring list with 302 career points and ranks among the nation's top 15 in scoring this season with 106 points. Through 12 games, he has recorded a career-high 20 field goals, highlighted by a 39-yard kick to force a second overtime in UVA's thrilling 46-38 double-overtime victory over then-No. 8 Florida State on September 26 and two field goals and three extra points in the Cavaliers' win over Virginia Tech in the Commonwealth Clash to clinch a spot for the Cavaliers in the ACC Football Championship Game. Bettridge is the ninth football student-athlete to be honored with the ACC's Jim Tatum Award and the first Cavalier to win the award since Jordan Mack in 2019. - ACC Football

  J'Mari Taylor became the first Atlantic Coast Conference running back since 2021 to run for a touchdown and throw for a score in the same game as No. 17 Virginia beat Virginia Tech 27-7 on Saturday night to clinch a spot in the conference championship game. Taylor ran for 80 yards and a score and quarterback Chandler Morris threw for 182 yards and ran 8 yards for a touchdown as the Cavaliers beat the Hokies for just the second time in the last 21 meetings between the schools. Virginia (10-2, 7-1 ACC) turned an interception off a deflected pass on Tech's first possession into a touchdown and never looked back. The Cavaliers' defense held Tech to a season-low 197 total yards in front of 58,832, the largest crowd at Scott Stadium since 2011. Virginia linebacker Maddox Marcellus, playing in place of injured star Kam Robinson, had nine tackles, an interception and was in on a sack. The Hokies (3-9, 2-6) got a 57-yard touchdown pass from Kyron Drones to Shamarius Peterkin with 4:20 left to play to get on the scoreboard. - Virginia/AP College Football

  11/27/25 - Beau Pribula, rSr/2027, Virginia, 6-2, 209 (DS#12 QB) + More +

  Missouri and Eli Drinkwitz have agreed to a six-year contract that will push the football coach's average compensation to $10.75 million annually and likely end any speculation that he could leave for one of the high-profile job openings elsewhere. The new contract was announced Thursday, one day after the University of Missouri Board of Curators held a meeting in which they voted unanimously to approve the deal. It would keep Drinkwitz leading the Tigers through the 2031 season. "My family and I believe deeply in the vision and leadership from our administration and are incredibly happy to continue calling Columbia our home," Drinkwitz said. "I'm grateful for the unwavering support of President Mun Choi, the Board of Curators, led by chair Todd Graves and incoming vice chair Bob Blitz, along with our athletics director, Laird Veatch. "We're also incredibly thankful for the support of our generous donors and NIL partners," Drinkwitz added in a statement released by the school. "I'm committed to continuing our work to build Mizzou into a championship program." Drinkwitz was hired by Missouri in December 2019 after a single season at Appalachian State, where he went 12-1 and finished the year ranked in the top 20.

The Tigers had fallen on hard times, but Drinkwitz steadily built them into a contender in the Southeastern Conference, reaching a bowl game in each of his first five seasons with a record of 45–28 heading into Saturday's game against Arkansas. That success, which included an 11-2 record and Cotton Bowl victory two years ago, made Drinkwitz a hot commodity on the coaching carousel. Missouri has acted aggressively to keep him, and the deal given to him this week is the second in the last four months. Missouri officials were no doubt worried about losing Drinkwitz amid a hot coaching market. SEC rivals LSU, Florida, Arkansas and Auburn have openings, while power programs such as Penn State, UCLA and Stanford also are looking for new coaches. "Under his vision and leadership, Coach Drinkwitz has transformed the standard for Mizzou football and united our entire program and fan base behind a clear pursuit of excellence," Veatch said. "We're thrilled he will continue leading our team into the future." - AP College Football

  11/25/25 - Kam Robinson, Sr/2027, Virginia, 6-2, 239 (DS#21 ILB) + More +

  Virginia starting linebacker Kam Robinson will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against Duke earlier this month. Coach Tony Elliott made the announcement Tuesday at his weekly news conference. Virginia, ranked 17 in the College Football Playoff rankings, plays Virginia Tech on Saturday, and a win gets the Cavaliers into the ACC championship game. Robinson emerged as the best player on the Virginia defense despite missing the first three games of the season with a collarbone injury. He has two interception returns for touchdowns - including one to seal a win at Cal - and his game-winning safety with the score tied and three minutes left against Washington State helped Virginia win 22-20. Though he played in only eight games this season, Robinson is second on the team with 64 tackles. Expect Landon Danley to start in his place. - ESPN College Football

  NOV 24 IVY LEAGUE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Justin Townsend, Columbia,...Columbia football's Justin Townsend earned Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week honors, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. Townsend became the Lions' all-time sack leader and helped the team to a 29-12 victory over Cornell on Saturday. Townsend took over in the second half, posting 2.5 second-half sacks to finish his storied career with 23, one more than the previous record set in 2019. His record-breaking sack forced a fumble, which led to a Columbia touchdown to ice the game in the fourth quarter. He finished with four tackles on the day and helped the defense limit the Big Red to 88 rushing yards. - Ivy League Football

  Chandler Morris passed for 316 yards and two touchdowns, J'Mari Taylor ran for 133 yards and two scores on 18 carries, and No. 20 Virginia kept its conference title hopes intact with a 34-17 victory over Duke on Saturday. Morris, who left last week's loss to Wake Forest following a hit to the head, went 23 of 35 through the air for the Cavaliers, who piled up 540 total yards. He also threw two interceptions, including one that Duke linebacker Tre Freeman returned 18 yards for a touchdown. Trell Harris paced Virginia (9-2, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) with eight catches for 161 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown that made it 20-3 in the third quarter.

Duke reached the Virginia 8-yard line on its next possession, but Darian Mensah was sacked on fourth down by Mitchell Melton. Three players later, Taylor sprinted for a 78-yard touchdown to put the game out of reach. Mensah finished with 213 yards and one touchdown on 18 of 35 passing as Duke (5-5, 4-2) dropped its second straight. Virginia started fast, marching 75 yards on 14 plays on the game's opening drive and scoring on Taylor's 3-yard run. Duke went the entire first quarter without a first down, totaling only 16 total yards. Todd Pelino's 49-yard field goal got the Blue Devils on the scoreboard with 5:33 left in the second quarter. But the Cavaliers scored twice more before halftime, including a 12-yard pass from Morris to Sage Ennis, to extend the lead to 17-3. - Virginia/AP College Football

  11/01/25 - JMari Taylor, rSr/2026, Virginia, 5-10, 199 (DS#11 RB) + More +

  J'Mari Taylor ran for two touchdowns and No. 15 Virginia extended its winning streak to seven straight games for the first time since 2007 by beating California 31-21 on Saturday. Taylor scored on two of the first three drives of the game to get the Cavaliers (8-1, 5-0 ACC) off to a fast start in their first meeting with the Golden Bears (5-4, 2-3). "It's the month of November, right," coach Tony Elliott said. "The way we kind of outline our season, this is go time. This is where we got to be trying to to prime up and get rolling on all cylinders. It was important for them to get off to a fast start and put together some drives and score some points." Virginia held on from there, getting a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown by Kam Robinson with 34 seconds left in a win that lifted the Cavaliers to their first 8-1 start to a season since 1990. "Everyone calls them the Cardiac Cavs," Elliott said. "But really it's a mindset. These guys believe. They're going to find a way to win. It's a mindset. Then because of that mindset, they're able to go out and just find a way." Kendrick Raphael scored three TDs for the Bears, who have lost 14 straight games against ranked opponents since beating No. 21 Oregon in 2020.

Cal got back into the game with a trick play midway through the third quarter. Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele threw a lateral to tight end Mason Mini, who then passed to Raphael open down the field for a 42-yard score that cut Virginia's lead to 17-14. But Chandler Morris and the Cavaliers responded with a 75-yard drive capped by Eli Wood's 3-yard touchdown run. Raphael scored again on a 1-yard run after a shanked punt gave Cal the ball at the Virginia 25, making it a three-point game early in the fourth quarter. The Bears failed to move the ball on their next two drives and then Sagapolutele's late interception ended any comeback hopes. "The want to and the effort was there but we missed out on some opportunities," coach Justin Wilcox said. "On defense it was the third downs, offense we had a couple we didn't quite connect on. Ultimately against a team like that, you have to make those and we didn't do that." - Virginia/AP College Football
