Cavs' Peerman plows over defenders with determination

Junior running back Cedric Peerman, whom Virginia coach Al Groh called "Big P" during a press conference this season, must ignite fear in opposing defenders' eyes with his imposing size. Five-foot-10 and 208 pounds?, Peerman can be a load to bring down because of his stocky build.

Tar Heels fall victim to Gould's kick

Chapel Hill, N.C.-- In a wild game that featured a dramatic two-point conversion attempt to tie the game in the final minutes, a wacky field goal and a malfunctioning clock, it was clear that anything was possible -- even a road victory -- when Virginia traveled to North Carolina to take on the Tar Heels Saturday. That's just what the Cavaliers (2-1, 2-0 ACC) did, as junior running back Cedric Peerman picked up the final first down in the final minute on a third and three, clinching an improbable 22-20 ACC road win over North Carolina (1-2, 0-1 ACC). This win snapped Virginia's four-game ACC road losing streak.

The price to play
