25-0 Home- coming win and the Old Domin- ion Athletic Conference I Championship Randolph-Macon was held to 79 net yards rushing in 37 attempts against the Wasps and yielded seven turnovers in the muck The Emory Henry defense which had yet to play solidly for four quarters this season played like men on a mission I wanted to come out and show people that we could come out and play in the second half because we played well in the Second half at said linebacker Don King head coach Lou Wacker agreed and hoped the outcome indicated that his defense fi-nally has come of age only thing a defense can take a lot of pride in is turn- overs and shutouts Wacker said you take a win simply by outscoring the oppo- nent you credit the offense with the win But when you shut a good offense down completely you have no doubt who you owe the game The best news of all for Wack- er however was the perfor- mance of his defensive secondary which he believed to I be somewhat suspect prior to I Saturday Outstanding play in the Wasp secondary obliterated deep scoring 1 threat holding the Yellowjacket air game to four completions on 19 attempts and tying a 1987 sim gle-game school record with 6 I team interceptions on the out- ing i Randolph-Macon head coach Jim Blackburn said he never really expected to encounter any promising soft spots in the secondary prepared for this game as if they were as good as they showed they were Blackburn said any Doug Reavises (in the secondary) this year but they still have good players back Players like cornerback Steve Munsey who himself set an in- dividual school record with four single-game interceptions He upped his takeaways to six on the game when he fell on one of the Yellowjacket fumbles tying Please see WASPS page 2D Please see BUCS page 2D Cavs likely No 1 after rout Second-ranked Virginia manhandles Wolfpack in ACC yawner By LEONARD LAYE Knight-Ridder- Service ing and embarrassing We haven't been manhandled like this in a To grasp the domination and appreciate just how potent Virginia is consider these numbers: The Cavaliers gave up only 48 net rushing yards the fourth time in six games they have held an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing North Carolina State had been averaging 1825 422 yards in total offense almost doubled the previous Wolfpack average allowed of 2165 North Carolina State had been yielding only 97 points per game Virginia had 17 by the time the first quarter was complete The shutout was the second in three ACC games (against piemson Duke and the Wolfpack) They have outscored their conference opponents 110-7 Please see MICHIGAN page 2D when the polls come out Monday North Carolina State had entered the game 4-2 overall and 2-2 in the ACC and was playing defense so well that only three major college teams were allowing more meager productions from their opponents But with an overflow Scott Stadium crowd of 44300 roaring its approval Virginia completely controlled play in the line and dropped one big play after another on the Wolfpack offensively and defensively- The performance kept records perfect (6-0 3-0) and scouts from the Orange Sugar Citrus and Hall of Fame bowls entertained It also extended the winning streak in regular season games to 12 do anything that we North Carolina State coach Dick Sheridan said just blocked us and ran it through us just beat us about every way they could very disappoint- CHARLOTTESVILLE Va Herman Moore was still catching his breath after breezing into the end zone for final points in a 31-0 victory over North Carolina State when he saw his coach George Welsh running at him know whether to run and hide or Moore said thought maybe I had done something Moore had done nothing wrong indeed no one in orange and white could have been accused of that Saturday but his run-and-hide thought might be good advice for anyone lining up against Virginia this season Even the No 2 national rank seemed inadequate in the face of a total domination of the Wolfpack And after top-ranked Michigan lost 28-27 to Michigan State later in the day it seems likely Virginia will be named the new No 1 team Lady Indians to defend state golf title In Southwest
