{mosimage} Perhaps no football team in Virginia history embraced the role of the underdog better than Al Groh’s overachieving squad in 2002. The youthful Cavaliers were picked to finish second to last in the ACC that season in the preseason media poll, but the freshmen-laden bunch continued to silence their critics as the season rolled along. Behind the precise passes of their talented quarterback Matt Schaub, the nimble legs of running back Wali Lundy, a “ball-hawking” defense that always seemed to force turnovers at the right moment, and a little bit of luck, the Cavalier football team was opening eyes around the nation as a force to be reckoned with. Apparently the 18th ranked Maryland Terrapins didn’t receive the memo. They strutted into Scott Stadium behind an 8-game winning streak and were just oozing with confidence. The only problem was that they were letting the Cavaliers know about it. The Terrapins were perhaps a little too confident that they were going to claim a share of the ACC title and a possible BCS berth after dispatching the lowly Cavaliers.
