Virginia Ends 17-Game Losing Streak Against AP Top-10 Teams, Upsets No. 10 North Carolina 31-27

Late interception from Cavaliers linebacker James Jackson and three rushing touchdowns from Virginia RB Mike Hollins helps Virginia upset an AP top-10 team on the road for the first time in program history.

Virginia upset No. 10 North Carolina 31-27, marking their first victory against an AP top-10 team on the road in program history, and ending a 17-game losing streak to AP top-10 opponents dating back to 2005.
Linebacker James Jackson sealed the victory for Virginia by intercepting a pass from Tar Heels quarterback Drake Maye with less than 30 seconds to play.
Virginia running back Mike Hollins had a standout performance, running for 66 yards and scoring three touchdowns, while Virginia quarterback Tony Muskett completed 20 of 30 passes for 208 yards.
Despite managing 490 net yards, North Carolina's offense was inconsistent with four failed drives and only managing 10 points on three redzone trips. The Tar Heels were 4-for-15 on third- and fourth-down conversions.
North Carolina's loss to Virginia has significant implications for their season, including potentially jeopardizing their hopes of a College Football Playoff berth.
