Dr. Falwell would have loved that title and this quote from Coach Rocco:
"I think the fact that we're a faith-based university makes us very open to second chances," said Rocco, who initially recruited all three players when he was an assistant coach at Virginia. "Everybody in life gets to some point, some time where they would need or welcome a second opportunity."
