Virginia rallies from 10 down, beats Syracuse 28-25

Virginia rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat Syracuse 28-25, keeping its ACC and postseason hopes alive. Jekail Middlebrook led the comeback with 95 rushing yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns, while quarterback Beau Pribula threw a 43-yard scoring pass to Da’Shawn Martin. The win reflected improved resilience after recent struggles, but Virginia’s offense stalled for long stretches and its defense gave up significant passing yards; Syracuse also missed two field goals. The victory offered a needed reset, though it did not erase concerns about whether the Cavaliers can contend for a strong finish.
