Cavs cruise past Indiana 47-7
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (Associated Press) — Mikell Simpson ran for four touchdowns and cornerback Ras-I Dowling forced two turnovers to set up scores as Virginia defeated Indiana 47-7 on Saturday.
Jameel Sewell passed for 308 yards as Virginia rolled up more than 500 yards total offense for the first time since 2004.
Simpson's first two 5-yard touchdown runs came after big plays by Dowling — a forced fumble that Rodney McLeod returned 32 yards and an interception. Dowling also had a third-down sack after Indiana (3-3) reached the Cavaliers' 32.
Zane Parr's sack on the next play gave the ball back to Virginia (2-3), and eight plays later Simpson was untouched on a 3-yard touchdown run with 2:34 left in the first half. He also had a 1-yard TD run before being injured in the third quarter.
Bryan Payton's 12-yard touchdown run was the only score for the Hoosiers.

I know for a fact that at least one NFL scout is looking at Sewell as an NFL QB prospect folks! And you can get drafted and be switched to another position if you don't make it as a QB. Name me any starting QB in the ACC who is a better NFL prospect?! VA Tech & Miami's QB are too young, and Duke's QB will be an NFL WR.
However, I just don't think Groh is the right man: I don't see him ever winning an ACC championship or getting us to an "important" bowl game.
