Questions still persist for beleaguered Cavs

Cornerback Marcus Hamilton summed up the bleak situation best following Virginia's 38-13 loss at Pittsburgh Saturday night. "If what we showed tonight is how Virginia is going to play, then we're in for trouble and a long season," the veteran senior said. For many teams, the season opener is when questions raised during the off-season begin to get answered.

Too early for the doomsayers

PITTSBURGH -- So maybe all the off-season pessimism was warranted after all.

Panthers Devour Cavaliers

PITTSBURGH -- It seemed like the more Virginia tried to do something right on either side of the ball Saturday, the more things just kept getting worse in the Cavaliers' 38-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers. Virginia missed its former stars on the defensive end, giving up four one-play touchdowns, as well as on offense, only scoring two field goals and a touchdown set up by an interception return. On Pittsburgh's opening drive, senior quarterback Tyler Palko picked apart the defense with ease in a 65-yard drive, as he completed all seven of his attempts.
