Virginia Dominates Coastal Carolina in Week 1 Blowout
Virginia overwhelmed Coastal Carolina 48-7 in a Week 1 matchup that was never competitive. The Cavaliers scored touchdowns in every quarter, jumping out to a 7-0 first-quarter lead before exploding for 21 points in the second quarter to put the game out of reach.
Chandler Morris led Virginia's offensive onslaught, completing 264 passing yards and connecting with Trell Harris for a team-high 93 receiving yards. Morris found the end zone through the air on multiple occasions, including a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jahmal Edrine in the second quarter. Morris also connected with Cam Ross on a 46-yard strike to the 1-yard line and hit Harris on a 48-yard completion to set up another score.
Coastal Carolina's offense struggled throughout, with Jevon Edwards leading the Chanticleers with just 6 rushing yards. The visitors managed only a single touchdown in the third quarter and were held scoreless in three of four quarters.
Virginia's defense proved equally stifling, forcing a fumble recovery in the first quarter. The game saw two lead changes despite the lopsided final score.
