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.

A fitting farewell
