In its most dominant postseason performance ever, the Virginia football team shut out South Carolina for the first time ever in the Gamecocks’ bowl game history. Virginia’s 28-point margin of victory was the most ever for Virginia in a bowl game as well, and tied for the largest margin in a loss in USC’s 23 bowl contests. Yes, UVA’s 28-0 romp was that good.
