Virginia coach Dave Leitao said while last season's success was special, he focused more on the impact such success has on future seasons. "I think it raises everybody's awareness as to who we are," Leitao said.

Virginia victory puts Orange Bowl to rest

MIAMI -- After a season of heart-stopping victories, Virginia made it look easy Saturday night with a shut-out victory that spoiled the farewell party at the Orange Bowl. After 468 games over 71 seasons, the Orange Bowl went out on one of its worst -- the worst home loss since 1944 when Miami fell to Texas A&M 70-14. The Cavaliers (9-2, 6-1 ACC) scored early and often and never gave Miami (5-5, 2-4 ACC) a single chance to compete.
