It's out of the frying pan and into the proverbial fire for the Cavaliers this week as they attempt to move past the loss to No.
Momentum is a tricky thing in football. At one point, it seems as if you can do no wrong. The holes in the line keep opening up.
In his eight starts under center, Dan Ellis never experienced a half quite as memorable as the opening stanza against top ranked Florida State Saturday.
Cavalier first-year Cara Lane won three events in her first collegiate meet to aid the 11th-ranked Virginia women's swimming and diving team to a 145.5-97.5 victory at Clemson Saturday.
Perhaps it was only appropriate that the Virginia women's soccer team, playing its final regular season game on Halloween afternoon, needed less than 50 minutes to suck the life from the Tennessee Lady Volunteers yesterday at Klöckner Stadium. Four minutes into the second half, the No.

Dwayne Stukes couldn't help it. As he spent his bye week watching top-ranked Florida State flounder in Death Valley, one thought kept crossing his mind: Peter Warrick looked rusty. The Seminoles' premier playmaker missed the two contests prior to Clemson while his attorneys struck a plea bargain to reduce a felony theft charge to a misdemeanor and get the Hesiman contender back on the field.
