Virginia head coach Brent Pry spoke to the media following the 24-14 loss to No. 19 Clemson on Saturday.
“Obviously, disappointed,” Pry said. “Ton of credit to Clemson. Good football team, thought they rebounded well. We unfortunately didn’t. There’s some good things out there that we did, but too many mistakes, untimely penalties, dropped balls, busted calls defensively, turnovers. You just can’t be at a good team making the mistakes that we made this evening. Unbelievable environment, great fans, sellout, ton of recruits here. The blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, gave us the lead, and there’s some good things we did. There certainly is, but we’ve got to clean some things up. We have to get healthy. We’ve got to be at our best. We’ve got two games in the season left. We’ve got an open week to get some guys back, get them feeling good, give us the best chance.”

BLACKSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) – First responders never stop training, and this week almost 500 from across Virginia are honing their skills in Blacksburg.
The Virginia Association of First Responders now includes EMTs, firefighters, police officers and many others who answer the call in an emergency.
Thursday, a farm accident and a collision involving a car and school bus were just two of the scenarios they encountered.
“It’s a week-long opportunity, not only for technical stuff like this, but for medical classes,” said Covington Volunteer Rescue Squad member Greg Burton. “People call 911 every day for something. And we’re just here to help ease the problem a little bit.”
The annual conference also includes a Rescue Camp for young people with an interest in emergency services.
43 campers are taking part in a variety of activities, including a session on scuba diving Thursday afternoon.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A brush fire in a wooded area on Criollo Drive Wednesday afternoon was set by children playing with fire, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department.
Units with Virginia Beach Fire and Virginia Beach Police were dispatched to the 3700 block of Criollo Drive in reference to a report of a possible fire in a wooded area at approximately 5 p.m.
Upon arrival, crews saw light smoke coming from a wooded area. They quickly had the brush fire under control at 6:05 p.m. and marked out at 6:37 p.m.
There were no injuries reported to civilians, firefighters or pets.
A VBFD Fire Investigator determined that the fire was set by kids playing with fire.
There are no charges being filed currently.
For Navy Vice-Admiral Douglas Perry, you could say all roads, or waterways, lead to Hampton Roads.
“It is more than full circle,” said Perry, who noted he went to the first Harborfest downtown in 1976.
And when he saw those tall ships led by Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle, “I was sold. I wanted to go to sea. I wanted to be a naval officer.”
