Virginia honors slain football players in emotional home opener as survivor scores touchdowns

Virginia held pregame ceremonies including video tributes and plaque unveilings to remember three players killed in a November shooting.
One of the surviving victims, Mike Hollins, led the team onto the field and scored two touchdowns in the game against James Madison.
Despite an inspirational performance by Hollins, Virginia lost to James Madison 36-35 after the Dukes scored a late touchdown.
The home opener was Virginia's first game since the shooting caused the cancellation of their final two games last season.
The tragedy has profoundly impacted the Virginia football program and campus community as they continue to grieve and heal.
