Carrying an impressive 3-1 record, the Maryland Terrapins will host ACC foe Duke this Saturday at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in College Park, MD. Saturday’s game against Duke will be Maryland’s first conference game of the season. Although the season is very young, the lack of a presence of a truly dominate team in the conference makes the race for the ACC seem wide open this year. Expectations in College Park, and among Maryland alumni are high for the Terps...
UVA wasted no time in traveling to Westhampton Way to knock on the door of Richmond’s Mike London regarding the Cavaliers’ head coaching vacancy. UVA pressed hard and came strong by immediately offering the coaching job to London to replace the departed Al Groh–and word on the street is, he is going to take it.

The team hit an all time low when it lost to in-state...

Unfortunately, Groh’s offense couldn’t muster any points until late in the 4th quarter when the game was already decided. The Cavs’ defense showed some signs of hope, but in the end, TCU was just too powerful and left UVA...
This summer, The Matador polled its fan base regarding which D-1 coach would be the first to go. The fans overwhelmingly picked Cheeseburger Charlie. However, it looks like coach Al Groh‘s stock just shot straight to the top. In the Cavalier’s season opener against D 1-AA William & Mary, Groh’s team had an amazing 5 fumbles (4 were lost) in a 14-26 lack luster performance. Groh’s 5-7 record last season was bad, but to lose to a lower-tier program...
