Cavaliers come up short, but see silver lining
It was strength against strength, and Virginia coach Mike London was trying to give his No. 24 Cavaliers a sense very early in the game that they could play with No. 6 Virginia Tech.
But on a fourth-and-2 play from the Hokies' 6 and with Virginia looking to keep alive a touchdown drive to answer one by Virginia Tech, Kevin Parks gained only one yard.
