Quick Drive

The Wahoos then stunned the
complacent Homecoming crowd by
moving 69 yards in only six plays
for the equalizer. The drive featured
long runs by Larry Albert and Dave
Sullivan, who went for 15 yards on
an end-around play deep in State
country. Quarterback Albert
climaxed the drive by throwing 15
yards to Bill Davis, who made a fine
over-the-shoulder catch.

After a third interception, by
Kevin Michaels, in the second
quarter the Cavs stole the lead.
Unable to move the ball from th
State 30 where he had been given
it, Albert faced third and long and
arched a long pass to Sullivan in the
end zone. Sullivan seemed
well-covered by cornerback Pilz,
also beaten by Davis on the
preceding score, but made a diving
catch to close out the Cavs' scoring
and give Virginia a 14-7 lead.

State got to the Cavalier five
with time running out in the half
but mismanaged their time outs and
settled for a chip-shot field goal.
They wouldn't have done this, of
course, had they known that their
total of 10 points was all that was
going to be rationed out by the
Cavalier defense.

Each drove into threatening
position several times in the second
half but no scoring occurred.
Harrison Davis led two Virginia
marches, after Albert was retired for
the duration trying to recover a
fumble, but had them both end in
State territory with turnovers. State
drove to the Cavalier six early in
the fourth period but gained only
two yards in their allotted four
downs.

The only member of the Pack
who the Wahoos couldn't stop was
halfback Mike Stultz. Stultz a man
of little pre-game repute, was
consistently wide open on pass
patterns and set a new Wolfpack
yardage record by teaming up with
Shaw for six catches and 155 yards.
For non-Math majors that averages
to a tidy total of over 25 yards per
grab.
