MIAMI, Fla. -- Virginia came calling to south Florida Saturday, but thanks to a 25-17 loss at the hands of Miami, south Florida, or anyplace in Florida, likely won't come calling on the Cavaliers with a bowl invite this holiday season. In what turned out to be an evenly-matched contest, Miami (9-2, 6-2 ACC) came through when it needed to behind a stout defense and a sufficient offense, and for the second straight week Virginia lost to a top-10 opponent.
