Extra Points: New Twist To Old Story

Posted Oct 20, 2008
On Saturday in chilly Charlottesville, Virginia stormed 82 yards in nine plays at the game's end to force overtime. With the momentum crackling through the Cavaliers and their fans, it seemed almost an afterthought that they would prevail in overtime, which they did, 16-13. Virginia has now won 14 straight meetings between the Cavaliers and Tar Heels in Scott Stadium, dating back to 1983. "God blessed them and smiled on them," noted Tar Heel safety Deunta Williams.
