- Junior wide receiver Kobe Clark caught his fourth touchdown pass of the season to set a personal single-season high and seventh of his career. He'll enter his senior year of 2021 with 1,466 yards and 141 receptions. His career reception total ranks ninth at ACU behind Darrell Cantu-Harkless (147).
- Clark led the Wildcats at Virginia with seven catches and 81 yards, including a 32-yard reception from Peyton Mansell.
- Senior placekicker Oscar Hernandez made his first appearance since 2018 and connected on the extra point to extend his personal streak to 42 consecutive PATs.
- Freshman Stone Earle led the Wildcats in rushing (20) and passing yards (150) in his collegiate debut, and completed 19-of-31 passes (62 percent) before being pulled in favor of Peyton Mansell in the third quarter. His longest pass was a 20-yard completion to L.J. McConnell.
- Earle led ACU to the UVA19 (11 plays / 44 yards) on his first career drive. He also led the Wildcats on a 14-play / 75-yard drive (7:23 TOP) at the end of the second quarter.
- Earle completed 6-of-7 passes in the second quarter.
- Mansell completed 9-of-13 passes in the second half (69 percent), and his rushing TD late in the fourth quarter was the second of his career and first since the 2018 season at Iowa.
