Receivers do the dirty work

By Joe Lemire | October 26, 2004

While most football teams rely heavily on the pass-catching ability and game-breaking speed of their wide receivers, those skills seem to be superfluous requirements to play the position for the Cavaliers. Against Duke, the hands of starting receivers Deyon Williams and Michael McGrew were far more likely to be found grappling with the shoulder pads of a Duke defensive back than they were to be reaching for the pigskin being tossed their way.

Virginia beats back Blue Devils in OT

By Robert Amanfu | October 25, 2004

It may have been the frigid weather, maybe even the intimidating atmosphere of Klöckner. Whatever it was, Virginia (13-2, 4-1 ACC) would love more of it as they overcame a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 over the Duke Blue Devils (13-3, 3-3 ACC) Saturday night. Midfielder Mike Littlefield became an instant hero when he finished off a Hunter Freeman cross six minutes into overtime, capping an impressive comeback by the Cavaliers and setting off wild celebrations in the stands. In an entertaining game played at a frenetic pace from the start, both teams found it extremely hard to keep possession and saw early opportunities sail wide of the goal.

By Joe Lemire | October 22, 2004

NEW YORK, N.Y. The American League Champion Boston Red Sox. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? The Sox, of course, could not make it easy on Red Sox Nation, facing the brink of elimination before rallying to do no what no baseball team had ever done before -- overcome a 3-0 series deficit to win a seven-game series.
