Midseason review: Outlook still good for Cavaliers

By J.D. Moss | October 21, 2004

When I woke up Sunday morning aghast, recalling the 36-3 thrashing the Cavaliers had received at the hands of Florida State the night before, I started to reflect on the Virginia season to date. I had jumped on the bandwagon, thinking the Cavs could actually go into Doak Campbell Stadium and beat the 'Noles, who had struggled against Syracuse. It seemed as if the Syracuse game merely roused a sleeping giant, rather than expose its flaws.

Cavaliers come alive after break for Hokie shutout

By Tara Ostrowski | October 21, 2004

It was a tale of two halves for the offense of the women's soccer team in its 3-0 victory over Virginia Tech last night. The fourth-ranked Cavaliers (12-2-1, 4-2-1 ACC) dominated the Hokies (8-7-0, 3-5-0) statistically in the first half but had little to show for it.

CFL kind to former Cav Curry

By Chris Marsh | October 21, 2004

He was a three-year starter. He had 60 tackles and six interceptions in his senior year and eight career sacks and tackles for a loss -- impressive numbers for any aspiring NFL cornerback. NFL scouts, however, only saw one number when they looked at Virginia's ball-hawking cornerback Almondo "Muffin" Curry -- "5-foot-8-inch." For all his exploits on the gridiron, Curry was passed over by the NFL in favor of taller cornerbacks to match up with today's towering receivers, a fact not lost on "Muffin." "To me, it's not even a point of how good you are, or what you can do out on the football field," Curry said.

Cavaliers' clock management comes under question

By Joe Lemire | October 19, 2004

In yesterday's weekly press conference, Virginia coach Al Groh shed some additional light on his actions and decision-making during the Cavaliers' final drive of the first half against Florida State. Trailing 19-3, Virginia's offense orchestrated a 13-play, 74-yard drive to march down to the Seminole five before kicking a field goal.

Yes, Virginia, there is a basketball season

By Becky Piedel | October 19, 2004

Virginia football's rise toward national prominence this year has enveloped fans in a cozy coat of orange crush defense, "Power V's" and HooVision. But the team's embarrassing blowout loss to the garnet and gold last weekend, coupled with the fact that only two home games remain in the season, might be leaving fans hungry for something new, something fresh, something to fill the lonely void between the end of pigskin play and the start of lacrosse.
