No. 15 Virginia Extends Seven-Game Win Streak with 31-21 Victory Over California

No. 15 Virginia secured a 31-21 victory over California, extending their winning streak to seven games, the longest since 2007. Key players included freshman safety Corey Costner, who made a pivotal interception, senior running back J'Mari Taylor with 105 rushing yards and two touchdowns, linebacker Kam Robinson who scored a late interception touchdown, and quarterback Chandler Morris who showcased a strong passing and running game. Virginia took an early lead and maintained control through efficient offense, converting 10 of 19 third downs and dominating time of possession. California's Kendrick Raphael scored three touchdowns, but the Bears struggled with turnovers and injuries, including the loss of linebacker Cade Uluave. A late interception by Costner effectively ended California's comeback hopes. Despite a strong effort and a notable trick play, California fell short and now faces a challenging path to bowl eligibility.
