          <description><![CDATA[
Virginia&#8217;s football practices this week were conducted in sweats, not because the temperature was low in Charlottesville, but rather to try to imitate the heat the Wahoos will face today in Miami. 

&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to simulate, but we&#8217;re trying to get as close to it as we can here,&#8221; receiver Vic Hall said.            ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; At times last Saturday, Virginia&#8217;s cornerbacks felt like they weren&#8217;t even playing the game. 

Chris Cook and Ras-I Dowling anchor the ACC&#8217;s best pass defense, and Georgia Tech didn&#8217;t have any interest in trying to throw on them &#8212; there were just eight passes attempted all game. 

&#8220;Those guys are always saying they wish they had more action,&#8221; coach Al Groh said. &#8220;Well, they&#8217;re going to get their wish.&#8221;           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Third down is make-or-break time for an offense. It&#8217;s also the kind of play that gets a defense excited.

&#8220;That&#8217;s when it&#8217;s time to make a play, and get our defense off the field,&#8221; cornerback Ras-I Dowling said.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; There was hope. There was hype. 

Unfortunately, Virginia&#8217;s newly installed spread offense did not live up to the label attached during spring practice and training camp. 

On its way to a 26-14 loss to William &amp; Mary, Virginia&#8217;s spread and the three quarterbacks entrusted to operate it managed to move the chains just 12 times. 

The Cavaliers, who host No. 16 Texas Christian (0-0) today at 3:30 p.m., also had just three offensive drives that lasted more than five plays, a flaw that must be corrected in the high-tempo offense.            ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; When Al Groh reshuffled his Virginia coaching staff, his decision to move running backs coach Anthony Poindexter to the other side of the football was hailed by the program&#8217;s faithful. 

As a player, Poindexter (a Jefferson Forest graduate) was a two-time, first team All-American safety with the reputation as a fierce hitter. 

His goal is to help current Cavalier defensive backs be all that they can be. He has some pretty good ones to start with &#8212; big, fast, corners like Chris Cook (Heritage) and Ras-I Dowling, both with experience behind them, and safeties like Rodney McLeod and Corey Mosley.            ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Virginia coach Al Groh last week spoke to a coach at another school about whether quarterbacks need contact prior to season openers. 

They agreed there is value in that. QBs can learn when and how to pass in perilous situations, how to maneuver in the pocket, how to persevere through physical discomfort. But the coaches also appreciate that QBs can be injured in &#8220;live&#8221; scrimmages or drills, especially if they haven&#8217;t been tackled for months.            ]]></description>

The shot heard &#8217;round the NCAA baseball tourney &#8212; the first-inning home run that San Diego State phenom Stephen Strasburg surrendered Friday night &#8212; came off the bat of University of Virginia sophomore Phil Gosselin.

Gosselin&#8217;s blast made all the highlight reels, and understandably so. Strasburg was unbeaten and had a 1.24 earned-run average. To UVa coach Brian O&#8217;Connor, though, Jarrett Parker set the tone for what would be a magnificent team effort in the double-elimination regional at Irvine, Calif.

Parker, the Cavaliers&#8217; leadoff hitter, fought Strasburg to a full count before striking out. Gosselin, the next batter, hammered Strasburg&#8217;s first offering over the wall.           ]]></description>

Duke got off to the kind of start it had hoped for in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The eighth-ranked Blue Devils will soon find out if it&#8217;s just a first step or the highlight of their weekend. 
Abby Waner scored 16 points to help Duke beat No. 24 Virginia 76-53 in the quarterfinals Friday night, extending their long winning streak against the Cavaliers and reaching the semifinals once again. 
Joy Cheek added 10 of her 12 points after halftime for the third-seeded Blue Devils (25-4), who won their tournament opener for the 15th straight year. Duke has reached at least the semifinals every year since 1995 &#8212; with five straight titles from 2000-04 &#8212; and next faces 12th-ranked Florida State on today.           ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; The game was already decided by the time Virginia completely unraveled Saturday at John Paul Jones Arena. No. 22 Xavier was in cruise control, having built a 26-point lead in what would ultimately be an 84-70 victory.

Virginia called a timeout with 13:22 left in the second half. On the bench, guard Calvin Baker was barking angrily at freshman center Assane Sene. After the timeout, point guard Sammy Zeglinski took an inbounds pass, dribbled six times and stopped when he heard a whistle. Cavaliers coach Dave Leitao, having called a second timeout in seven seconds, shook his head in disgust.           ]]></description>

On the road, against a basketball team that&#8217;s owned them in recent years, the Virginia Cavaliers trailed in the final minute of regulation.
They trailed again in overtime. The final score is the only one that counts, however, and when the horn sounded for the last time Sunday, UVa celebrated an improbable 88-84 victory over Georgia Tech.
&#8220;We&#8217;re first place in the ACC, so that means a lot,&#8221; said junior forward Jamil Tucker, whose 3-pointer with 14.7 seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime.

Latrell Scott, who has spent most of his life in Virginia, is coming home.
Scott, a Richmond native who coached the University of Tennesse&#8217;s wide receivers this season, was hired Tuesday at the University of Virginia. Scott, 33, will coach UVa&#8217;s receivers. Wayne Lineburg, who worked with Scott on Dave Clawson&#8217;s staff at the University of Richmond, will move from receivers to running backs at Virginia.
Also Tuesday, UVa confirmed that Gregg Brandon, as reported late last week, will be Al Groh&#8217;s new offensive coordinator. Brandon replaces Mike Groh, one of three assistants not retained from Al Groh&#8217;s 2008 staff. Brandon is expected to also coach the Cavaliers&#8217; quarterbacks, as Mike Groh did.

When Al Groh took over as football coach at the University of Virginia after the 2000 season, one of his first moves was to install the 3-4 defense he&#8217;d taught during a decade on NFL staffs.
The 3-4 remains the Cavaliers&#8217; base defense, but they&#8217;ve yet to establish a consistent offensive identity under Groh. UVa has run versions of the West Coast offense and the spread, lined up in traditional pro sets, emphasized power running and even, against Virginia Tech last month, shown elements of the single wing.           ]]></description>

Speculation that Al Groh would not return for a ninth season as the University of Virginia&#8217;s football coach proved unfounded. But Groh has shaken up his staff, and one of the changes involves his older son, the Cavaliers&#8217; offensive coordinator for the past three seasons.
