No. 25 Virginia 31, Western Michigan 19
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Marques Hagans threw for one touchdown and ran for another and the mistake-prone Cavaliers did most of their scoring in the first 171/2 minutes.
Virginia, unable to stop the Broncos' short passing game most of the night, led only 24-19 when the Cavaliers finally got the stop they needed with 11 minutes remaining in the game.
On fourth-and-4 from the Virginia 31, Tony Franklin and Jermaine Dias tackled tight end Brandon Ledbetter 3 yards short of a first down.
Twelve plays and 69 yards later, freshman Cedric Peerman gave the Cavaliers some breathing room, scoring on a 1-yard run to make it 31-19 with 5:38 remaining.
MARYLAND 23, NAVY 20: Sam Hollenbach threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Drew Weatherly with 61 seconds left, capping a frantic 82-yard drive that carried Maryland in Baltimore. Hollenbach went 19-for-30 for 217 yards, and Mario Merrills ran for 149 yards on 30 carries to help Maryland recover from an early 11-point deficit in the opener for both teams.
After a 6-yard touchdown run by Matt Hall gave Navy a 20-15 lead with 4 minutes, 43 seconds left, Hollenbach brought the Terrapins back. The key play came just before the touchdown, when Lance Ball took a short pass on a fourth-and-8 from the Navy 31 and slipped several tackles during a 20-yard gain.
Hollenbach then fired the winning pass to Weatherly in the middle of the end zone before Merrills ran in the conversion.
