Colleges Daily Press, Sunday, Oct. 27, 1985 B3 Cavaliers hold off Wake, 20-18 if there's ever been a we really needed, this game, one game, that was it." George Welsh accounted for 137 yards on 24 carries. Word had been sharing the position with Howard Petty but Petty carried only nine times for 25 yards "We changed the scheme to get Word more carries," said Welsh. "We felt it was for the good of the team." "The season gets tougher from here on out," said Word. "We have games against West Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland coming up.

That's why winning today was so big. "This is the start of our sec-: ond season. The first half didn't go like we wanted it to go, so it's up to us to make something out of what we have left." The Cavaliers took the first step in that direction Saturday.

It wasn't a performance that will inspire bowl talk.

But then, it really didn't have to be. Virginia's slumping Cavaliers, losers three of the last four games, simply were a team in need of a victory Saturday afternoon. They got it, although by the slimmest of margins, 20-18, over Wake Forest, before 19,400 at Groves Stadium. It wasn't pretty, but it was still a win. It boosted Virginia's record to 4-3 and gave the team a sense of direction again.

"During my career at Virginia (four years), if there's ever been a game, one game, that we really needed, this was it," said Virginia coach George Welsh. "This was a big test. "If we don't win this one, we're in trouble psychologically the rest of the year. It was that simple." And kicker Kenny Stadlin, a Hampton native who contributed two field goals and two extra points to the Virginia success, said, "we did something different this week. We won." Stadlin had field goals of 38 and 34 yards in the first quarter, giving him 14 for the year.

He set the record in 1983 when he booted 12 three-pointers. It also gave him nine straight field goals, tying another school record he set. extends 70,119. Florida whose unbeaten streak dates back to September 1984 and includes two ties built a 15-10 halftime lead, and then wore down the Hokies with an 80-yard touchdown drive that consumed the first 6:17 of the third quarter. Anderson, who rushed for 78 yards on 12 carries before leaving with a bruised knee, threw his second touchdown pass of the season 4:09 into the game to give Florida a 6-0 lead.

The senior tailback's 13-yard scoring try to get as many points as I could in that situation." The Deacons took advantage of a Majkowski fumble to score early in the final period, then crept back into contention on a freak 59-yard TD pass from freshman quarterback Mike El-kins to Greg Scales. The pass was intended for James Brim, but Virginia linebacker Russ Swan got a hand on the ball and batted it into the air. Scales caught the tipped ball and outraced the Virginia secondary. With 2:57 left, Virginia looked as if it might find a way to lose once again. But the Deacons never got their hands back on the ball.

Virginia rolled up three first downs and ran out the clock. "After they scored the last time, we weren't thinking of anything other than running out the clock," said Majkowski. "Our backs were against the wall this week. We looked at this game as the last chance to help us have a good season. "We can play better, but right now the only thing that's important is that we won." Virginia got a lot of mileage out of tailback Barry Word, who Hokies' 10 first-half points on Chris Kin-zer's 43-yard field goal and Maurice Williams' two-yard run that capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive.

Hokies backup quarterback Mark Cox also directed a 68-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, completing the march with a three-yard run and a two-point conversion pass to Earnie Jones. Florida forced three turnovers in the first half and also scored a field goal after a Virginia Tech punt lost seven yards. But the Gators could AP photo Virginia's Chris Warren (22) eludes Wake's Jimmie Simmons. In the end, though, it came down to defense. The Cavaliers capitalized on a big turnover, Ryan Jackson's 37-yard interception return, to set up their first TD, a six yard run by quarterback Don Majkowski.

Virginia then stopped the Deacons consistently for three quarters before holding off a last-ditch charge in the final 15 minutes when Wake scored twice. Virginia led, 20-3, early in the third period after Majkowski completed his first pass of the day, a 30-yard strike to Quanah Bullock for a touchdown. Wake Forest, which scored on a Doug Illing field goal just four seconds before intermission, finally put together a sustained march late in the third quarter, driving from its 47 to the Virginia 13, where the Deacons faced fourth and three. Wake coach Al Groh chose to try for the first down, but a pass was incomplete. It didn't seem like a big play at the time, but the three points he figured to get there would later come back to haunt Groh.

"We hadn't been down there (the end zone) much all day," he said of his decision. "I wanted to streak at run gave the Gators a 15-3 lead midway through second quarter. Williams, who moved to tailback after Anderson was injured, took over in the second half. After picking up 13 yards on seven carries in the first two quarters, he ran for 140 yards on 20 attempts after intermission. Bell, meanwhile, threw touchdown passes covering one yard to Rodney Jones and 43 yards to Anthony Williams as Florida built a 32-10 lead and coasted.

Virginia Tech, 3-5, scored its Georgia Tech Dickey, a senior subbing for the injured Tony Robinson, completed 16 of 22 passes for 153 yards but was unable to draw Tennessee close to the goal line.

(AP) Derek Schmidt kicked a 54-yard field goal with 2:17 left and Martin Mayhew's 62-yard interception return for a TD led error-prone Florida State to a 20-10 victory over North Carolina Saturday. The llth-ranked Seminoles committed five turnovers in the first half and the Tar Heels parlayed two of them into scores. But North Carolina's offense was ineffective against the Florida State defense.
