The incident happened in the late third quarter of the Thursday night game. After a helmet-to-helmet clash, he fell to the Louisville sidelines where the team trainers immediately came to assist him. Following this incident, Virginia receiver Malik Washington scored a touchdown but by then, everybody on the field was huddled around Perris Jones. 

Another sad game for the Virginia Cavaliers 

As Perris Jones was moved to the University of Louisville Hospital, the game resumed. Virginia led in the early fourth quarter with 24-17. But during the fourth quarter, Louisville star Jack Plummer accounted for a 52-yard touchdown giving the teams a tie at 24-24.

In the last moments of the game, Louisville RB Isaac Guerendo secured an impressive 73-yard touchdown run leading to a 31-24 victory over Virginia. But after all that happened, we can’t blame Virginia for their distracted play. 

With the last win, Louisville defeated Virginia 31-24 and leads 2nd in the ACC with 9-1. They’ll face their 6-3 Miami Hurricanes in Week 11 while Virginia moves forward to face the 6-3 Duke Blue Devils. While Virginia will be playing without Perris Jones, we hope the best for him and to see him shining on the football field once more.
