Instead, Rocco calmly dumped the ball off to junior Perry Jones, letting the tailback scamper up the sideline for 15 yards and a first down.
It's the 2009 season opener, and William & Mary cornerback B.W. Webb is intercepting Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell for the third time. He's running into the end zone and doesn't stop. Now he's running into the tunnel, mocking an already embarrassed team.

Former Cavalier ace Danny Hultzen agreed to a five-year, $10.6 million contract with the Seattle Mariners last week.

During the Virginia baseball program's last regular season meeting with Virginia Commonwealth, then-freshman pitcher Branden Kline took the mound as Virginia's starter.

Last year, N.C. State took two of three from then-No. 1 Virginia and looked poised to repeat the feat against this year's top-ranked team.
