          <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>

Virginia coach Dave Leitao kept a keen on eye on the happenings in Lexington, Ky., Friday night. By the middle of the second half, a group of Cavalier players had gathered in the team&#8217;s lounge to watch, too.
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>

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;

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.

Shooting guard Jeff Jones started 25 games as a freshman in 2007-08 and ended the season by scoring 26 points against Bradley in the College Basketball Invitational semifinals.
Yet when the University of Virginia basketball team&#8217;s starting five took the floor Sunday at John Paul Jones Arena, Jones was on the bench. Classmate Mustapha Farrakhan started at shooting guard against Division II Shepherd University, and the 6-4 left-hander justified UVa coach Dave Leitao&#8217;s faith in him.           ]]></description>

Fresh off a triumphant weekend, the University of Virginia football program got more good news Monday morning. Tim Smith, a 6-0, 185-pound senior at Oscar Smith High in Chesapeake, became the 21st player to commit to the Cavaliers for 2009. Thirteen of those players are Virginians.

Cavaliers coach Al Groh typically looks forward to devising a game plan for each opponent, but &#8220;I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m going to enjoy this one,&#8221; he said Sunday night. &#8220;I think I would rather take a pass on this exercise, but we don&#8217;t have that luxury.&#8221;

CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; From 2 yards out, Virginia tailback Cedric Peerman bulled across the goal line, and the celebration began as night fell on Scott Stadium.

As much as other members of UVa&#8217;s offense like talking about Cedric Peerman, they prefer watching &#8212; and listening to &#8212; the senior tailback run.
Peerman, who missed Virginia&#8217;s Sept. 27 loss at Duke because of a knee injury, returned to run for 110 yards and one touchdown a week later in a 31-0 win over Maryland. He followed that up Saturday by rushing for 173 yards and two TDs in a 35-20 victory over East Carolina.

The University of Virginia&#8217;s coaching staff is more familiar with Connecticut&#8217;s personnel than with that of Florida State. Go figure. 
These things happen in the expanded ACC. UVa hasn&#8217;t played FSU since 2006, and the teams won&#8217;t meet again until 2010. Virginia faced UConn last season, however, and the rematch is tonight. The Huskies (2-0) host the Cavaliers (1-1) at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., in a game ESPNU will televise.
&#8220;When you play a non-conference team two years in a row, then you begin to build up your familiarity with them,&#8221; Cavaliers coach Al Groh said, &#8220;as opposed to ... a one-time shot, say like when we played Middle Tennessee last year.&#8221;           ]]></description>

Virginia&#8217;s Kevin Ogletree is more than a wide receiver this season. The junior from Queens, N.Y., is also returning kickoffs for Al Groh&#8217;s football team.
That&#8217;s a new assignment for Ogletree, who missed last season while recovering from knee surgery.
&#8220;I went to coach Groh, I guess a little bit towards the end of my rehab, before I got back on the field, and just told him that I was interested in returning kicks,&#8221; Ogletree recalled Tuesday.            ]]></description>

Trojans quarterback Mark Sanchez threw for 338 yards, repeatedly victimizing Minnifield, who redshirted last season after suffering a knee injury during his senior season of high school.            ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE &#8212; Slowly but surely, Virginia guard B.J. Cabbell worked his way into game action last season.
First, it was in mop-up duty at guard. Then it was on the field goal unit. All of it was a sample, just to let the former Nelson County standout get a taste of what action was like in preparation for this season, when he is expected to jump into the starting lineup as he embarks on his third year with the program.
&#8220;I know I don&#8217;t have the big experience of being in an actual game,&#8221; Cabbell said at UVa&#8217;s media day on Sunday, &#8220;but it feels like, you know, the pace of a game from just being out there.&#8221;           ]]></description>

GREENSBORO, Ga. &#8212; Virginia was picked to finish fifth in the ACC&#8217;s Coastal Division by the assembled media at the ACC Kickoff on Monday. Cavaliers coach Al Groh was neither surprised nor concerned.
&#8220;Our team probably continues to labor to get much respect in this conference,&#8221; Groh said.
Despite winning nine games in 2007, tied for second-most in school history, Virginia was hit hard by offseason attrition both expected (Chris Long and Branden Albert heading to the NFL) and unexpected (academic suspensions to starters Jameel Sewell and Chris Cook and the transfer of rising star Jeffrey Fitzgerald).           ]]></description>

GREENSBORO, Ga. &#8212; When the Cavaliers begin fall practice on Aug. 4, their quarterback situation will be just the way they left it at the end of spring &#8212; up for grabs.

Fifth-year senior Scott Deke and sophomores Peter Lalich and Marc Verica will vie for the job, which was vacated after two-year starter Jameel Sewell received a one-year academic suspension from the school last winter.

&#8220;What counts is what happens in competitive practice, and that&#8217;s just a small window of competition compared to games or anything else,&#8221; Virginia coach Al Groh said at the ACC Kickoff on Monday. &#8220;You have to have some criteria from which to make judgments and therefore slot the players, so whatever goes on the practice field is the only vehicle to do that.&#8221;
