Virginia Dominates NC State 34-8 in Week 1 Opener
Virginia controlled the game from start to finish, defeating NC State 34-8 in Week 1. The Cavaliers scored in every quarter, establishing early momentum with touchdowns in the first and second periods before adding two more scores in the second half.
NC State managed only a field goal in the third quarter, struggling offensively throughout the matchup. CJ Bailey led the Wolfpack with 84 passing yards, while Virginia's defense forced a critical fumble in the second quarter when Bailey was stripped by B. Hillman, recovered by L. Danley at the UVA 7-yard line.
Virginia's offense was balanced and efficient. Jekail Middlebrook rushed for 64 yards, and the passing game connected consistently, with Connor Cox recording 7 receptions. Key plays included Xavier Brown's 45-yard touchdown pass from Beau Pribula in the second quarter and D. Martin's 47-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter.
The game stayed one-sided throughout, with Virginia covering the 4-point spread. The final score fell under the 50.5 over-under as defensive execution and turnovers limited scoring opportunities.
