Saturday’s 28-14 road win over the Duke Blue Devils gave Virginia Cavaliers fans everything they were hoping for coming off an upset victory the week before.

It was a deserved penalty, but Davis did everything in his power to make sure the refs didn’t miss the call. Take a look at his own reaction:
