Jordan McCloud hit Kaelon Black with a 10-yard tuchdown pass with 55 seconds to play, capping a fourth-quarter rally and James Madison beat Virginia 36-35, spoiling the Cavaliers’ first home game since three players were fatally shot last November.

Virginia hopes its first home football game in 10 months is the high point of a long, emotional journey that started in a horrific way.

Thousands of people have joined Virginia’s football team, coaches and staff in honoring three players who were shot dead as they returned from a field trip last weekend.

Virginia’s basketball players wore sweatshirts in warmups Friday that honored three Cavaliers football players who were fatally shot nearly a week ago.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner says three University of Virginia football players who were shot on a chartered bus as they returned from a field trip to their campus each died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Virginia has canceled its home football game against No. 23 Coastal Carolina scheduled for Saturday following a shooting on campus that left three players dead and another wounded.

The three University of Virginia football players who were killed are being remembered as funny, sweet and ambitious.

Pittsburgh got off to as fast a start as a defense can at Virginia.
