Cavaliers make quarterback change

By Fritz Metzinger | October 2, 2012

The Virginia football team is making a quarterback change. Coach Mike London hinted on his weekly radio show Monday night, the Cavaliers will give sophomore Philip Sims snaps with the first team this week in preparation for his first start Saturday against Duke — provided he recovers from a lower leg injury suffered in last week’s 44-38 loss to Louisiana Tech. The move follows another dicey performance from incumbent starter junior Michael Rocco against the Bulldogs.

Change we can believe in

By Sean McGoey | October 1, 2012

First of all, let me be clear. I never wanted this to happen. I was the one defending Virginia quarterback Michael Rocco through all the chants and signs proclaiming “We Want Sims!” I consistently asserted that Rocco should remain the starter ahead of backup Phillip Sims even after consecutive games in which Rocco threw two interceptions and failed to reach 150 yards through the air. “He’s getting no help from the defense,” I said.

The blame game

In the aftermath of Virginia’s zany 44-38 loss against Louisiana Tech, coach Mike London was the spitting image of a man trying as hard as humanly possible to avoid the use of a four-letter word.

Well-rested Clemson tops tired Virginia squad, 2-0

By Ben Baskin | October 1, 2012

The Virginia men’s soccer team, playing its seventh match in the last 22 days, sputtered to a 2-0 home loss against ACC rival Clemson on a rain-soaked field Friday night. The Cavaliers (5-4-1, 1-2-0 ACC) were unable to carry over momentum from their exciting 1-0 overtime victory at Virginia Commonwealth Tuesday night as they struggled to find any rhythm offensively in the early stages of Friday’s game.

Two losses extend winless ACC streak to five

By Peter Nance | October 1, 2012

The Virginia volleyball team suffered losses at Boston College Thursday and Maryland Sunday to remain winless in ACC play. The Cavaliers (5-10, 0-5 ACC) lost to the Eagles (8-9, 2-3 ACC) 3-0 Thursday night in a match that was closer than the scoreboard indicated.

Virginia drops third straight, falls to Louisiana Tech, 44-38

By Daniel Weltz | September 29, 2012

Saturday’s 44-38 loss to Louisiana Tech featured the best and worst of an offense which has been too erratic to give the team’s inexperienced defense a fighting chance. With one of the top offenses in the country visiting Charlottesville in Louisiana Tech—the only team in the nation to score 50 or more points in each of its games—the Cavalier attack needed to be sharp throughout. Instead, the offense alternated between eye-opening stretches of execution and head-scratching periods of futility.
