No. 13 matmen begin grueling season Saturday

By Matthew Wurzburger | October 31, 2013

For No. 13 Virginia, the 2013-14 wrestling season kicks off with a quad-meet against Anderson, Gardner-Webb and West Virginia this Saturday in Memorial Gymnasium, giving the matmen their first chance to showcase the fruits of countless hours of practice. Coach Steve Garland is without the services of Jedd Moore, Matt Nelson, Matt Snyder, Mike Salopek and Derek Valenti — all spring 2013 graduates and key contributors to last year’s team.

Watford, receivers let loose in loss

By Zack Bartee | October 26, 2013

The Cavaliers tested Georgia Tech deep early and often, with David Watford slinging the ball around the field after weeks of conservative, run-heavy play-calling. They may not have hit on all or even most of their attempts, but the important part was that they were trying, right?
