What happened
ESPN RECAPJohns' career day helps Virginia beat Duke 42-34
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- For one day, the coaching questions and uncertain future didn't matter for Virginia. Neither did the Cavaliers' recent run of poor form against Duke, nor their recent elimination from bowl consideration. For one day, everything was good. Matt Johns passed for a career-high 344 yards and two touchdowns as Virginia held off a late Duke rally to win 42-34 Saturday at Scott Stadium. The Cavaliers (4-7, 3-4 ACC) had lost three straight and six of the last seven to the Blue Devils, and they'll try to end an even longer run of futility next week against Virginia Tech, whom they haven't beaten since 2003. "We'll enjoy this tonight, but go to work tomorrow on the things we need to take care of," Virginia coach Mike London said. That game will be the last for Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, who is retiring after the season ends.
