Lundy rushed for a team high 94 yards on 20 carries, caught two passes for 20 yards and returned four kickoffs for 70 yards.
The New Jersey native tallied 184 all purpose yards, which fell just 11 yards short of tying the school record for most all purpose yards by a UVA freshman.

It is the hairy man contest-
Contestants with the hairiest arms, legs and back walked away with trips to Cancun and Puerto Rico.
Back hair was actually measured with rulers- for accuracy sake.
NADS hair removal sponsored the contest- proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis foundation. (------------)
