VO-NAT Police say they do not have

motive at this time.

Williams was shot along with two
other people when someone opened fire
on their white limousine after leaving
a nightclub.

There's no indication Williams
was targeted because of his status as a
Bronco.

The shooting came just hours
after the team was eliminated from
playoff contention.

The conditions of the two people

ABC It was the traditional Big Ten
versus Pac 10 match-up in Pasadena and
the winner could be the early favorite
for next season national title.

The game was tied at 3 in the
second half when the Trojans went to
the passing game. John David Booty
would throw his second Touchdown pass
of the third quarter to Dwayne Jarrett
and S-C took a 13 point lead.

Michigan tried to keep the game
from getting out of hand on a touchdown
pass from Chad Henne to Adrian
Arrington. The Wolverines completed
the 2-point conversion and were down by
8.

Yellow Jackets vs Mountaineers And if you liked Offense then you
liked this game which was seen right
here on your Home Town Station.

Georgia Tech's Quarterback Taylor
Bennett looked really good early on in
his first start. He took the reins
from Reggie Ball who was inegilible for
grades. Bennett hooked up with Calvin
Johnson 3 times to give the Jackets a
35 to 17 lead in the 3rd quater.

Then it was West Virginia's turn
for offense. Quarterback Pat White

playing without running back Steve
Slaton in the second half. He scores
from 15 yards out and the Mountaineers
came all the way back to lead by 3.
*CG final West Virginia Finally someone made a play on 38 defense in the fourth Quater, West Georgia Tech Virginia picks off Bennett inside the 5 35 and the Moutaineers win 38 to 35 over
Georgia Tech.
