Cavs Complete Big Ones

Virginia moved almost at
will between the twenties.
Neither Harrison Davis nor
Larry Albert passed very well
but they completed the
important ones, the ones
Maryland QB Al Neville always
seemed to miss. For Terp
Coach Roy Lester, a man
almost certain to forfeit his
job, it must have seemed like
apocalypse.

Maxwell missed a field goal
try after Hinckle's first fumble
but Davis took the Cavs into
sure three-point range after the
instant replay. Harrison
converted Hinckle's third
bobble into a touchdown, Kent
Merritt taking it in on an end
run from 12 yards out.

With less than five minutes
left in the half Davis marched
the Hoos to the Terp seven,
where he took matters into his
own hands and scored on a
roll out. Maryland then offered
a preview of Virginia's second
half debacle by moving 59
yards in four plays to make it
17-7.
