Injuries slow down Sintim, Dowling, eventually cramp defensive resistance

By Paul Montana | September 30, 2008

When Virginia lost three starters to cramping in the second half of its 3-31 loss to Duke Saturday, all Virginia coach Al Groh could do was wonder if his team could handle any more blows to a roster already thinned by personnel losses relating to legal and academic issues.Against Duke, the losses of senior outside linebacker Clint Sintim and sophomore cornerback Ras-I Dowling appeared to be the backbreaking blow.
