Countdown to Kickoff: #88 Ryan Santoro

Related Topics: Scott Stadium, Walk-on (sports)

One of the best moments of the 2015 football season came from a walk-on receiver.

For a moment that was all-too-brief, the Virginia football team looked like it would beat #9 Notre Dame at Scott Stadium last September. The Hoos had stunned the Irish by rallying from 12 points down in the fourth quarter to take a 1-point lead with 1:54 left in the game. For the next few minutes, no longer than it took to finish that last bit of bourbon you brought for the day, UVA’s season...and Mike London’s job security...looked on the rise.

We all remember what happened next.
