UVA at MD

2007

 

Homecoming, Cyber style.  Had this sim been completed back in 1999, some handsome Cyber Dude named Bob W. would have been Homecoming King walking out on to the turf of Byrd in front of a few hundred students in his Samba Classics, but alas this is not nineteen-hundred-ninety-nine.  This is 2007 and as far as I am concerned, to this point Chris Turner is Homecoming King.  Lets hope his play on the field cements that thought.  The cyber team enters this one at 5-1 while the real Terps enter with a 4-2 record.  Byrd is dark and rocking for this rivalry game.  Clear sky and 70 degrees at kickoff.  Erin Henderson getting hype as one of the best defensive players in the nation and Corso picks the Terps.

0-0 MD to receive.  Chirrs Gould to kickoff.  Da'rell Scott returns it to the 31 from the 12.  First play, give to Lattimore for no gain.  3 wide on second, give to Lattimore and again no gain.  We miss Crummey.  Turner sacked on third by Jeffery Fitzgerald.  Baltz to punt.  Pearman back to receive and drops it.  Recovered by Barnes.  Lattimore up the middle and he is stopped for a loss of two by Chris Long.  MD at the 44 by the way.  Lattimore left for a gain of 2.  3rd and 10.  Turner drops back , the pass is tipped and intercepted by Vic Hall and he returns it all the way for a TD.  XP attempt by Gould is good.

0-7 2:39 to go in the first.  MD to receive Goulds kick.  Scott from the 7 to the 27.  Our line is hurting without Crummey.  Lattimore up the middle for 3, but alas it is coming back for holding.  1st and 20, Pitch right to Lattimore and he breaks one tackle and gains 3.  2nd and 17, Turner had time, but only picked up 2 yards on a pass to Laquan Williams.  3rd and 15, and Turner is sacked again this time by Trey Womack.  Baltz from the end zone, faircatch at the 50.

0-7 1:05 in first.  Sewell hits TE Stupar for a gain of 8.  Pitch left to Pearman, and he loses 2.  3rd and 4, Sewell under center, pitch to Pearman, and Navarre was all over that.  Loss of 4.  Ryan Weigand on to punt to start the second quarter.  Varner makes a faircatch at the 9.
