I just think overall, every guy’s kind of playing with a lot of confidence,” Armstrong said. Got a good win streak going, good production in the red zone now. “I think the whole offense is playing pretty confident right now. His final - and critical - scoring pass to Henry with 3:50 remaining came on a corner route with Henry making a diving grab. We kept trying to change it up and kept trying to change the pressures, and he just kept seeing and finding it,” Collins said.Īrmstrong, second nationally in passing yards and total yards per game, threw for 396 yards and ran for 99. He was finding the holes, the soft spots in certain coverages. Yellow Jackets coach Geoff Collins said watching the Cavaliers on film is one thing, but seeing them in person, especially Armstrong, was something else. His pass from the Virginia 31 on the final play of the game was batted down in the end zone, preserving the victory. Sims hit Kalani Norris from 37 yards with 1:16 to play, then Kyric McGowan from 5 yards with 22 seconds left. Jeff Sims threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 132 yards, including a 71-yard TD burst, for the Yellow Jackets (3-4, 2-3), who lost for the 13th time in their last 15 visits to Scott Stadium. Wicks said the win was the most important thing, but in the locker room afterward, “being that it didn’t have to go like that, it was a little accountability.” “You know, coming into the fourth, I can’t remember how much we were up, but we were we were up a lot so giving up those two onside kicks in and having our defense come back out and not play well was definitely, definitely not great,” defensive back Coen King said. His players weren’t thrilled with that turn of events either. He was less enamored of his special teams and defense, which allowed the Yellow Jackets to turn Virginia’s 48-27 lead into a nail-biter at the end by recovering a pair of onside kicks. Super fun to watch,” he said after the Cavaliers rolled up 636 yards. He scored on runs of 4 and 14 yards as the Cavaliers (6-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) rallied after trailing 13-0 midway through the first quarter.Ĭoach Bronco Mendenhall was delighted with how his offense performed - “There’s lots and lots of production happening out there.
