Danny Cipriani and Kyle Eastmond in committing to the Ricoh Arena club this summer

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- First-year Miami coach Mark Richt never talked to his team about qualifying for a bowl game with a victory at Virginia, figuring the Hurricanes had three games left to ensure a .500 record and a chance to play in the postseason.When Brad Kaaya threw two touchdown passes and Mark Walton ran for 111 yards and another score Saturday, leading Miami to a 34-14 victory against Virginia, and bowl eligibility, his players admitted to be delighted, and to wanting to keep the wins coming,Its awesome. Awesome, right guard Danny Isadora said. Got to keep winning.They did it for the first time at Virginia with a balanced attack that produced 222 rushing yards and 228 through the air.Kaaya hit David Njoku for a 7-yard score and Ahmmon Richards for a 77-yarder, the latter making Kaaya just the second quarterback to throw for more than 9,000 yards in his career at Miami (6-4, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Only Ken Dorsey, with 9,565, has more.Richards touchdown, on a short third-down route, gave the Hurricanes a 27-14 lead, and the defense did the rest.It feels great, honestly, the freshman said of qualifying for the postseason. You work so hard and you want to have a payoff. Its a great way for our seniors to go out, but right now, were focusing on N.C. State.The Cavaliers (2-8, 1-5) honored fourth- and fifth-year seniors before their final home game, but lost their fifth in a row. Virginia trailed just 17-14 at halftime, but mustered only 28 yards in the third quarter as Miami pulled away.Virginia fumbled the ball away four times, all in the second half.Clearly Im not getting through yet to our team in those closer moments where the game is kind of going back and forth, first-year Cavaliers coach Bronco Mendenhall said.Waltons 15-yard run, capped as he arched his back to reach the end zone, essentially put the game away with 11:17 remaining. It gave the sophomore 21 touchdowns in 23 career games, and 11 touchdowns this season.I think the blocking was good, for the most part, but there were a few times where he was just ripping through tackles and just wasnt going to be denied a first down and kept a couple of drives going, Richt said.THE TAKEAWAYMiami: The Hurricanes reached bowl eligibility by getting stout performances on both sides of the ball. They rushed for 222 yards and passed for 228, and on defense sacked Virginia starting quarterback Kurt Benkert five times, including a strip sack by Corn Elder that Joe Jackson recovered.Virginia: Benkert continued to be restless under pressure and had another rough day. He completed 16 of 27 passed for 143 yards before being removed in the fourth quarter. The swap allowed former starter Matt Johns to finish, and he received a rousing ovation when he entered his final career home game.WHERE THERES SMOKEVirginias Taquan Smoke Mizzell caught three passes for 27 yards, and became the first player in ACC history to record 1,500 career rushing yards and 1,500 career receiving yards. He has 1,831 rushing yards (21st all-time at Virginia) and 1,517 receiving yards (13th).The milestone came on a pass from Johns in the fourth quarter.One of Johns goals when he got into the game, he said, was to get Smoke that record. Man, I love that dude. He plays so hard and he caught a couple passes and got the 10 yards that he needed. Hes one of the best football players Ill ever play with.UP NEXTMiami makes its first trip to Raleigh, North Carolina since 2008 to face North Carolina State.Virginia plays at Georgia Tech.---More AP college football: http://collegfootball.ap.org Tony Pollard Cowboys Jersey .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team.

Wasps bid to become the dominant force in the Aviva Premiership shows no sign of slowing after the club confirmed the signing of Willie Le Roux.South Africa fullback Le Roux will head to Coventry once he has fulfilled his commitments with Japanese Top League side Canon Eagles.He is the latest high-profile addition to the Wasps squad and joins Kurtley Beale, Danny Cipriani and Kyle Eastmond in committing to the Ricoh Arena club this summer.Le Roux has won 37 Test caps for the Springboks, and will compete with Rob Miller for the No. 15 shirt following the departure of Charles Piutau to Ulster, and loss of Beale to a serious knee injury.Im really excited about the move to Wasps and Im really looking forward to playing in the Aviva Premiership, Le Roux said. The Super Rugby competition is a great one to play in but Ive reached a point in my career where I want to experience new environments and I cant wait for the new challenge, where Ill be playing with and against some familiar faces.The rrecent World Cup in England really hit home just how passionate the fans there are about rugby and in weighing up the move, the recent successes Wasps have experienced, the way they play the game and the facilities they have at the Ricoh Arena were big factors in my decision.ddddddddddddWhen speaking to [Wasps director of rugby] Dai Young he talked to me about the atmosphere at the Ricoh Arena as well as discussing a very exciting interpretation of the game. Every player wants to win things in their career and I feel like I have a great opportunity to do that with Wasps.Young said: When we were looking to replace Charles Piutau, who is up there in the worlds top two or three international full backs, Willie was certainly in that level of international company. Hes shown on a regular basis that he has the ability to be one of the best full backs in world rugby. ' ' '
