2005 UVA @ MD Sim
Well here we are for the 2005 Cyber homecoming game. It looks like a great afternoon for football! Herbie goes with the Cav's and Marquees Hagans to pull out the W, but Corso dons the Testudo head. Off to the opening kick off. The big line up change this week is Keon Lattimore moving from 3rd string to first. MD wins the toss and defers. UVA returns the kick out to the 21. MD forced a 3rd and 5, and actually made the stop on one of UVA's patented screen. After a punt and a fair catch, Keon Lattimore took his first touch as a starter for 68 yards down to the 4. Wow, what a start. On first and goal, Hollenbach hits Lattimore out of the backfield and he is drilled at the goal line and fumbles. UVA recovers on the one. They convert second and long and get it out to the 13. On 3rd and 11, the snap nearly sailed over Hagans' head, and McPherson made a nice pass break up to force a punt that was returned by JoJo to the MD 47 before being lit up! A brilliant play action pass to VD for a first down and more down to the 39. After a Derek Miller reception on second down brought up 3rd and 4. The play goes to Lattimore, but he is strung out for a loss. The Terps go for it on 4th from the 36 and convert with a strike to Fenner down the left side. First and goal from the 3. Hollenbach hit a WIDE open Derek Miller for 6. Ennis converts the XP for a 7-0 lead with 17 seconds left. A screen pass on second down gets the ball out to the 29 as the quarter expires. On 3rd and 10 Hagans was hit as he threw and they punted away for a touch back after the incomplete. A Hollenbach play action fooled no one on first including Jermaine Dias who had a 6 yard sack. On third and 16, Sam and JoJo hooked up for a big play and a first down out to their own 36. Hollenbach again sacked on first down. On second down Ricardo Dickerson was stopped on a short gain. On third and long Brandon Schmidt made a huge sack. Podlesh unleashed a boot, and UVA returned it out to the 25.

His next pass hits VD in the right flat and he broke one tackle at the three and rolled over one more at the goal line to make it to the end zone for 6. Ennis is again good on the XP. Hollenbach was perfect on the drive that gave the Terps the lead with 0:44 remaining. UVA elects to attempt to run the ball with Lundy to end the half. 14-7 at the half.

Hagans again hooks up with his TE to get back to the original line of scrimmage. Luckily for McPherson, Hagans over threw a wide open receiver. The punt goes out of bounds at the 41. VD made an excellent catch on a deflection, but came up a yard short of the first, and the opt to punt which goes into the end zone for a touch back. Lundy picked up 16 on first down. A play action pass to the TE results in first down to the 37. Another Lundy run got the ball down to the 24.
