CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA - Matt Schaub threw two second-half touchdown passes, and Virginia rallied from a 21-0 halftime deficit and beat North Carolina 37-27 Saturday. <br>
<br>
The Cavaliers (6-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got a school record-tying 100-yard kickoff return from Marquis Weeks to open the second half and never looked back, finally taking the lead at 28-21 on Schaub's 35-yard scoring pass to Ottowa Anderson with 11:53 to play. <br>
<br>
The Tar Heels (2-5, 0-3), who have not won at Scott Stadium since 1981, drove inside the Cavaliers' 10 after Weeks' big return, but Sam Aiken caught a pass a fumbled near the goal line. <br>
<br>
Virginia has won six straight games and has outscored its opponents 177-76 in the second half this season. Five of the Cavaliers' victories have come when trailing at halftime. <br>
<br>
The comeback also was the second-biggest in school history, eclipsed only by a rally from a 29-7 deficit at Virginia Tech for a 36-32 victory in 1998. <br>
<br>
The Cavaliers recovered and drove 98 yards in 12 plays, with Schaub hitting Billy McMullen from 8 yards out to pull Virginia within 21-14. <br>
<br>
Schaub was 14-for-26 for 194 yards. He was intercepted once. <br>
<br>
The Cavaliers tied it at 21 with 13:59 left on a 2-yard touchdown dive by Wali Lundy. The freshman finished with 108 yards on 18 carries. <br>
<br>
Schaub's pass to Anderson gave the Cavaliers the lead, and a 22-yard field goal by Kurt Smith and Alvin Pearman's 17-yard scoring run with 3:04 to play rendered a late touchdown by the Tar Heels insignificant. <br>
<br>
The Cavaliers scored on their first five possessions of the half, and ran out the clock on the sixth after a late interception by Shernard Newby. <br>
<br>
The Tar Heels built their lead on three touchdown passes by Darian Durant, including a 77-yard connection with Aiken. Durant, who was 15-for-19 for 226 yards before leaving with an injured right thumb, also hit Jarwarski Pollock from 17 yards and Chesley Borders from 4 yards out. <br>
<br>
Aiken also caught a late 14-yard scoring pass from C.J. Stephens.
