Virginia defeats visiting North Carolina State 34-8 in its season and Atlantic Coast Conference opener on Saturday at Scott Stadium. The Cavaliers build an early lead, scoring to go up 17-0 heading into halftime, and they continue to control the game throughout.
Beau Pribula, a transfer quarterback making his Virginia debut, has a standout performance. He throws for 155 yards and two touchdowns and also runs for 110 yards. In doing so, he becomes the first Virginia quarterback to rush for 100 yards in a game since Brennan Armstrong in 2022. With a balanced offensive attack and a defense that limits NC State, Virginia maintains dominance after the break. Across the coverage, the emphasis is on Virginia’s overall control, Pribula’s dual-threat output, and the widening gap created by early scoring and defensive pressure.
Both outlets report the same final score, setting, and key statistics for Pribula, describing the win as a strong conference-opening performance for Virginia.
