By the Numbers: Breaking Down Virginia’s Loss to North Carolina
Virginia football suffered their third straight defeat, this time in lopsided fashion as North Carolina routed UVA 41-14 on Saturday afternoon at Scott Stadium. UNC successfully avenged last year’s upset victory by the Cavaliers over the then-No. 10 ranked Tar Heels and improved to 66-59-4 in the all-time series with UVA, which dates back to 1892.
The 27-point margin of victory for the Tar Heels is the largest they have had against Virginia since beating UVA 45-14 in 2013. North Carolina recorded ten sacks against Virginia, the most UNC has had in a single game since the year 2000.

Here are some key individual stats from Virginia vs. North Carolina along with some more notes:
Malachi Fields finished with three receptions and 48 receiving yards, his 23rd game in a row with at least one catch. With 1,695 career receiving yards, Fields is 12th on Virginia’s all-time receiving list and is eight yards shy of passing Heath Miller.
Tyler Neville had four receptions for 32 yards, allowing him to surpass the 1,000-yard career receiving mark with 1,013 career receiving yards, 317 of which have come at Virginia.
Anthony Colandrea completed 16 of 28 passes (57%) for 156 yards, but had zero touchdowns and two interceptions, breaking a streak of four consecutive games without throwing a pick. He had thrown 146 passes in a row without an interception until throwing a pick on the first drive of the third quarter.
Tony Muskett threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to JR Wilson in the fourth quarter. That was Wilson’s first-career touchdown and UVA’s longest pass play of the season as well as the team’s longest pass play since Kobe Pace caught a 75-yard touchdown against James Madison in the second game of the 2023 season.
Anthony Britton led Virginia with 10 total tackles, setting a career-high in that category. Jonas Sanker was second on the team with seven tackles, six of which were solo stops, and he is now up to 154 career tackles.
Will Bettridge converted field goals of 30 and 27 yards, giving him 184 career points, which is four shy of catching up to Bill Dudley for the 15th spot on the all-time scoring list at Virginia.
Daniel Sparks booted a 60-yard punt in the second quarter, his 14th career punt of at least 60 yards. 12 of those punts have come at Virginia, putting Sparks past Russ Henderson for most 60+ yard punts as a Cavalier all-time.
Up next, Virginia has a bye next week before heading on the road in week 11 to take on No. 19 Pitt on Saturday, November 9th at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. The kickoff time and TV designation have yet to be announced for Virginia at Pittsburgh on November 9th.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
BRISTOL, Va. (WCYB) — Crews put out a house fire in Bristol, Virginia, on Wednesday morning, according to officials.
The Bristol, Virginia Fire Department was dispatched at 3:09 a.m. for the fire in the 900 block of Vermont Avenue. The house was unoccupied at the time fire crews arrived on the scene.
