BLACKSBURG &#8212; It seemed that Virginia Tech&#8217;s ACC championship hopes dissolved into the humid south Florida air with its 16-14 loss at Miami last Thursday. But if anything is true about the wacky ACC this season, it&#8217;s that nothing is certain.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Looking across the line of scrimmage, an offensive tackle sees a defensive end in a three-point stance, eyes fixed ahead, eagerly anticipating the snap so he can deliver a blow that to most people would feel like a car wreck without the airbag. This is, after all, unnatural human interaction.           ]]></description>

Senior kicker Dustin Keys attempted eight field goals his entire high school career. Now, in his only season as Virginia Tech&#8217;s kicker, he is on the cusp of the school&#8217;s single-season field goal mark.
Keys, a former walk-on who was awarded a scholarship right before this season, is four field goals away from breaking the single-season record of 22 set by Chris Kinzer in 1986 and matched by Shayne Graham in 1998.            ]]></description>

Elon&#8217;s Brandon Newsome isn&#8217;t a pro prospect, at least not yet. He&#8217;s not popping up on a list of the nation&#8217;s top FCS running backs. He&#8217;s not the target for opposing defenses.
But his emergence in 2008 has given Elon much-needed offensive balance, a weapon in the backfield to keep opponents honest.

When Jason Worilds listens to a Herbie Hancock piano solo, he hears more than music. He hears expression. He hears feeling.
There&#8217;s nothing to distract from the song or drown out the emotion. It&#8217;s complex in its simplicity, kind of like Worilds&#8217; new approach on the football field.
Since the Virginia Tech sophomore defensive end removed all distractions from his mind and stopped second-guessing himself, he&#8217;s been able to express himself on the field a lot better.
The result has been sweet music.           ]]></description>

It was just a matter of time before Lynchburg College&#8217;s sophomore forward Betsy Kwiatkowski got loose.
Emory University had frustrated the Hornets&#8217;outstanding, offensive player by pressuring the ball and cutting off service to LC&#8217;s leading scorer in the scoreless first half Sunday in the NCAA Division III soccer tournament..
But the Hornets came out of locker room like a different team. LC started to string some passes together and before long, Kwiatkowski was getting the ball in increasingly dangerous positions. Finally, 13 minutes into the second half, Kwiatkowski took the ball, turned a defender, and headed to the sideline.
She then spun around a second defender while cutting back to the middle of the field. Next, she beat a third defender to the end line and crossed the ball into the six-yard box where sophomore forward Katie Santos tucked the ball home for the match&#8217;s only goal.           ]]></description>

They saw VMI drill shot after shot and hold off a furious Kentucky charge at Rupp Arena.
&#8220;It was a little bit of a wake-up call,&#8221; Leitao said. &#8220;What we saw out there really raised our eyebrows.&#8221;           ]]></description>

Plenty has been made of Rashad Jennings&#8217; draft status. But the tailback isn&#8217;t the only Liberty player drawing attention from NFL scouts this season.
Several scouts have been impressed by the play of LU senior quarterback Brock Smith, who entered Saturday night&#8217;s game against Gardner-Webb ranked eighth in the FCS in passing efficiency at 159.51.           ]]></description>

Liberty football coach Danny Rocco&#8217;s answer was short and to the point. At 10-2, do the Flames deserve to go to the playoffs?
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; he said simply, addressing the remaining crowd at Williams Stadium after Liberty beat Gardner-Webb 30-10 on Saturday night.           ]]></description>

CLEMMONS, N.C. &#8212; Liberty University sophomore Sam Chelanga continued his undefeated cross country season, winning Saturday&#8217;s NCAA Division I Southeast Regional Championships  men&#8217;s race and qualifying for next Monday&#8217;s NCAA Division I Championships at Terre Haute, Ind.

He completed the 10K race at soggy Tanglewood State Park, Wake Forest&#8217;s home course, in 29 minutes, 53.4 seconds to hold off Boston College&#8217;s Bobby Mack (30:17.8). Chelanga helped the Flames (156 points) equal last year&#8217;s highest-ever regional showing, finishing fifth behind William &amp; Mary (66), Virginia (67), N.C. State (111) and Duke (146).           ]]></description>

The blue-chip prospect who&#8217;s scheduled to arrive at UVa today for an unofficial visit is bringing some baggage.
That Renardo Sidney is a supremely gifted basketball player is unquestioned. The 6-10, 250-pound senior from Los Angeles&#8217; Fairfax High is ranked No. 5 by Scout.com and No. 10 by Rivals.com in the Class of 2009. His potential is such that many expect to see him in the NBA come the 2010-11 season.
&#8220;When Renardo Sidney is in shape and focused on his game, he may not have a rival in this class,&#8221; said Dave Telep, the lead recruiting analyst for Scout.com. &#8220;The sky is truly the limit for him, and it&#8217;s completely up to him.&#8221;

          <description><![CDATA[
When the final buzzer sounded and Aaron Linn&#8217;s game-tying 3-pointer clanked off the front of the rim, Virginia Tech basketball coach Seth Greenberg crouched in front of his bench, looked down at the court and rubbed his forehead. Then he paced around for a few moments before joining the postgame handshake line.
The Hokies&#8217; 65-62 season-opening win over Gardner-Webb last night proved much more stressful than most imagined. The Hokies led by 18 points with 11:37 left in the game, but Gardner-Webb charged back and had three chances at game-tying 3-pointers in the final 12 seconds. Fortunately for the Hokies, the Bulldogs missed all three.

The scene looked and sounded so familiar: Virginia Tech&#8217;s offensive players talking in hushed tones after a game, in the bowels of some stadium, about how their shortcomings marred a stingy performance by the Hokies&#8217; defense. 
It has become a recurring nightmare for Tech, one that could derail a season that seemed to have turned upward for the young Hokies. They squeezed just 250 yards out of Thursday night&#8217;s 16-14 loss at Miami. The Hurricanes and North Carolina now must lose in order for Tech to find a way to its second consecutive ACC championship game.           ]]></description>

Had Gardner-Webb held serve at home last Saturday against Coastal Carolina, tonight&#8217;s matchup with No. 24 Liberty would have held so much more meaning for both teams. As it happened, though, the Chanticleers knocked off the Bulldogs in Boiling Springs, N.C., clinching the Big South Conference championship for the Flames.
That doesn&#8217;t diminish today&#8217;s game for Liberty, which is still holding out slim hopes of earning its first FCS playoff berth. But how much does Gardner-Webb have to play for?

Amber Mays was working on instinct, and when VCU&#8217;s Radoslava Bachrarova stopped and prepared to shoot, Mays defended.
Too well, it seems. The Liberty guard nicked Bachrarova&#8217;s arm as the VCU guard attempted a 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left. Bachrarova sank all three free throws, and the Rams escaped with a 59-57 victory Friday night in the first round of the Preseason Women&#8217;s NIT.

Gardner-Webb&#8217;s seventh opponent &#8212; Presbyterian &#8212; was the first to rush for 100 yards as a team against the Bulldogs this season. Since then, GWU&#8217;s run defense has taken a bit of a hit, at least in terms of raw statistics.
VMI ran for 321 yards against Gardner-Webb, but that&#8217;s to be expected considering the Keydets are second in FCS in run offense. A week later, Stony Brook rolled up 316 yards against the Bulldogs.           ]]></description>

The five true freshmen whom Al Groh has used this season are likely to assume prominent roles on the University of Virginia football team in years to come.
For one, however, his first season may be over.
Groh said Sunday that outside linebacker Cameron Johnson, who has missed the past two games with an ankle injury, probably won&#8217;t play again during the regular season.

Corey Rasberry&#8217;s career touchdown haul entering Liberty&#8217;s game at VMI could be counted on one hand.
One fist actually.
&#8220;He never scored in high school, he never scored in Pop Warner, he never scored in college football,&#8221; said Flames tailback Rashad Jennings, Rasberry&#8217;s roommate.
Until Saturday, at least. The tight end caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Brock Smith in the first quarter of Liberty&#8217;s 38-26 victory, catching a throw on a play-action rollout before sprinting down the left sideline for the score           ]]></description>

LEXINGTON &#8212; Liberty&#8217;s defense was predictably gassed. VMI had spent much of the first half and the early part of the third quarter Saturday at Foster Stadium running all over the Flames. A pitch here for a big gain. A burst up the middle there for a first down. The Keydets had cut an 18-point deficit to two, and the Flames knew they needed to do one thing: Get the big boy the football.           ]]></description>
