Virginia is still looking for special teams upgrade

An offseason pledge to improve Virginia's special teams, one that included hiring former Kansas State coach Ron Prince to coordinate the unit, has not yielded results as Coach Al Groh had hoped.

Aside from place kicker Robert Randolph's impressive accuracy (he's made 12 of 13 field goal attempts), no other component of Virginia's special teams has positively swayed games. The Cavaliers are eighth of 12 ACC teams in both punt and kickoff coverage.

'The major thing is your specialists have to have an outstanding performance,' Groh said. 'That is, kickers and returners on two of the three units, let's say we're not shooting par, and we're looking for a much-upgraded performance in punting the ball and kicking off.'

U-Va. gets another shot at resurgent Duke

Duke's players charged toward midfield at Wallace Wade Stadium when the clock expired in last season's 31-3 win over Virginia, reveling after they snapped a 25-game ACC losing streak. The image is ingrained in the mind of Cavaliers fullback Rashawn Jackson, who sounded as if he wanted to pound a blocking sled -- perhaps one adorned with a Blue Devils jersey -- while recounting the celebration earlier this week.

'We were embarrassed,' said Jackson, who has a chance to even the score on Saturday at Scott Stadium.
