Fumble fever: Virginia Tech 21 , Virginia 13 (3rd Qtr): For years, fans have begged for Virginia to run the option. They may never ask again.

Here comes the Hoo-Cat formation: Virginia 10, Virginia Tech 7 (1st Qtr): With three minutes left in the opening quarter and Virginia driving, the Cavaliers went back to old faithful: Vic Hall at quarterback.

Wireless works, UVa does not: Clemson 34, Virginia 21 (4th Qtr): After technical difficulties were resolved on my end, there was little to blog about that would interest a Virginia fan.
