Virginia loses game, ACC title hopes in Blacksburg

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Early in the third quarter of Saturday's game, it looked like Virginia had hit one out of the park.

With Virginia and Virginia Tech locked in a scoreless tie, the Cavaliers made the big play -- the proverbial home run -- that would presumably break the game wide open: a 32-yard touchdown pass to senior tailback Alvin Pearman that gave Virginia a 7-0 lead.

The No. 10 Hokies (9-2, 6-1 ACC), however, were able to answer back, scoring 24 of the game's next 27 points en route to a 24-10 victory in front of their home crowd, eliminating the No. 18 Cavaliers (8-3, 5-3) from ACC title contention and a BCS bowl bid.
