The UNC football program returns to the field on Saturday as they open up the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule against Virginia Tech.

It will be another home game for UNC, a place where they are 1-1 on the year and coming off a loss to Notre Dame. But this is a chance for the Tar Heels to get ACC play off to a good start and make their march to a Coastal Division title.

The Hokies enter this game fresh off a loss to West Virginia but have gotten the better of the Tar Heels in recent meetings. That includes Week 1 a year ago where the Hokies put a damper on the preseason hype for a No. 10 Tar Heels team.

With it being game day, let’s get into our predictions for the game.
