Last-play FG gives Virginia 34-31 win over Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Virginia scored 11 points in the final 96 seconds Saturday night, getting a 23-yard field goal from Robert Randolph as time expired to beat Indiana 34-31.

It was Mike London’s first road win in two seasons as coach of the Cavaliers (2-0).

Indiana (0-2) rallied from a 20-point second-half deficit, only to give away an 8-point lead in the final two minutes.

Perry Jones had 3-yard TD run for Virginia with 1:36 remaining, and Michael Rocco threw to Paul Freedman for the 2-point conversion to tie the score at 31.

Indiana got the ball back, but on third-and-3 from its own 23, Cam Johnson stole the ball out of quarterback Edward Wright-Baker’s hands. That gave Virginia the ball at the Hoosiers’ 14, setting up Randolph’s winning field goal.
