CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The Virginia Cavaliers rallied for 13 unanswered points in the second half Saturday to put themselves in position to secure a dramatic comeback victory.

Louisville didn’t cooperate. The Cardinals scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:55 remaining, and that proved to be the difference in their 24-20 win over UVA in an ACC football game at Scott Stadium.

After Louisville’s final touchdown, Virginia (4-2, 2-1 ACC) took possession and drove across midfield to the 39-yard line with more than a minute left. Four straight incompletions followed, however, and the Cardinals (4-2, 2-1 ACC) ran out the clock.

“They made the plays at the end of the game to win the game, bottom line,” said Tony Elliott, UVA’s third-year head coach. “But we’re super proud of our guys for competing, to be in that position. We continue to, I think, take steps forward, even though we didn’t win the game.”

UP NEXT: Virginia (4-2, 2-1) visits Clemson (5-1, 4-0) next Saturday. The noon game will air on ACC Network.

The 10th-ranked Tigers have won five straight since dropping their opener to Georgia. Clemson romped 49-14 over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Saturday afternoon.

This will be Elliott’s first game against Clemson since he left Dabo Swinney’s staff after the 2021 season. Elliott is a former Clemson wide receiver who spent 11 seasons as an assistant at his alma mater.

The Cavaliers haven’t played in Death Valley since 2020, when they fell 41-23 to the Tigers. Since losing 30-10 at Scott Stadium in 2004, Clemson has won five straight over UVA. The Tigers lead the series 40-8-1.
