When the college football rankings were released, Miami was ranked No. 3. The Hurricanes moved up for the third week in a row.

Many of the college football analysts thought this would be a let-down game against Virginia, since the Hurricanes were coming off two strong consecutive wins. Miami started off slow against Virginia, but ultimately was able to recuperate and go on a 30-0 run to secure its 11th straight win this year.

The Cavaliers started the game very motivated, as they drove right down the field to score a touchdown. On their following drive, Virginia QB Kurt Benkert found a wide open receiver for a 75-yard touchdown. Virginia was up 14-0 by the end of the first quarter. Miami would respond on their next drive. Rosier got hot and drove the team down the field until he hit WR Ahmon Richards on a 10-yard fade to make the score 14-7. Miami would be forced to punt on their next drive. However, Cavalier returner Daniel Hamm muffed the punt and Miami recovered, giving the Hurricanes great field position. The next play, Rosier would find a wide open Dayall Harris for a 36 yard game tying touchdown. But, Virginia would respond at the end of the half when Benkert hit Andre Levrone down the sideline for a 33- yard touchdown.

After halftime, the Cavaliers added onto their lead. Benkert continued to show his hot hand when he hit Daniel Hamm in stride for a 26 yard touchdown to give Virginia a 28-14 lead. From that point on, however, the Hurricanes and the crowd would take over the game. Miami once again drove down the field. Rosier threw a 9 yard dart to WR Lawrence Cager that made it a one-possession game and got the crowd back into the game. On the following Cavalier drive their QB Kurt Benkert fell back to earth. He threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. The noise in the stadium was thunderous. Miami would continue to roll as the Hurricanes would take the lead on a 44 yard Michael Badgley field goal. The Hurricanes would extend their lead with a pair of touchdown runs. First, it was Rosier who weaved his way 8 yards to the end zone. Then, RB Travis Homer put Virginia away for good with a 19 yard touchdown run.

TURNOVER CHAIN:

CB Michael Jackson recovered a fumble that was forced by LB Zach McCloud.

RB Travis Homer recovered a muffed punt which helped the Hurricanes tie the game.

S Jaquan Johnson tied the game with a 30 yard interception return.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
