Virginia tailback Mike Hollins, who survived a gunshot wound to his stomach in the November shooting attack that killed three teammates -- Lavel Davis Jr., D'Sean Perry and Devin Chandler -- got the first touch of the Cavaliers' spring game Saturday to a standing ovation.

Hollins rushed for 7 yards up the middle to cheers from supporters at Scott Stadium. He later scored a 1-yard touchdown into an end zone painted to memorialize his fallen teammates.

Hollins, who had 11 carries for 40 yards in the first half of the spring game, patted the ground and celebrated the score.
