Cavaliers topple Terrapins, 31-23

Despite losing quarterback Dan Ellis to an injury near the end of the first half, Virginia held off a persistent Maryland squad for a 31-23 victory Saturday at Scott Stadium. Virginia stuck to the usual game plan this week: strike early and often and hope the defense hangs on. The offense scored a season-high 28 points in the first half, including three rushing touchdowns by junior running back Tyree Foreman.

Don't wave goodbye to Welsh just yet

If you missed the radio broadcast of the Cavaliers' 27-10 victory over Wake Forest Saturday, you didn't miss much. Aside from Antwoine Womack's 40-yard touchdown run and Kevin Coffey's 48-yard touchdown catch, Virginia did just enough to take care of business on the field.
