Last Second TD Lifts William & Mary Over Maine

It's never easy to get a win in Orono, Maine, at least that's what they tell me. William & Mary, #8 in the FCS poll, had to rally against the Maine Black Bears and pull it off.

With twenty seconds left Tribe quarterback Michael Paulus found Chase Hill in the end zone for the game winner as W&M defeated Maine 24-21.

The Virginia football team lost its season opener to William & Mary Saturday by a final score of 26-14. It was Virginia's first loss to an FCS opponent since 1986.

The Cavaliers turned the ball over seven times in the loss. Jameel Sewell threw three interceptions, the last of which was returned for a touchdown to seal the game for the Tribe.

It was also a lackluster debut for the new spread offense. While the Cavaliers did score on their opening drive, they were shut out for the entire second half. All three quarterbacks played, but none were effective, and all three had at least one turnover in the game.

Virginia has now lost four straight season openers. The Cavaliers will try to get back on track Saturday when they host #17 TCU.
