Throughout his career at Virginia, Alvin Pearman always has had good hands. During his freshman year, he used those hands to scoop a Billy McMullen lateral out of the dirt and placed the "hook and ladder" in Virginia football history. Last season, Pearman was Al Groh's go-to running back late against South Carolina, when the Cavaliers needed a sure-handed ball carrier. In last year's victory over Duke, Pearman scored a touchdown and took a Matt Schaub pass 33 yards to set up the game-winning score
