PHOTOS: Last time UNC/Virginia Tech met in Hurricane weather

We take a look at some photos from the last time UNC and Virginia Tech met in Hurricane weather back in 2016 in Chapel Hill.

The UNC football program is set to host Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill as the Tar Heels’ Atlantic Coast Conference schedule kicks off for the 2022 campaign.

UNC is coming off a tough home loss to Notre Dame while the Hokies dropped their Week 4 game to West Virginia.

Saturday’s game could be a sloppy one as heavy rain is in the forecast due to Hurricane Ian but it won’t be the first time these two teams have played in Hurricane related weather.

In 2016, the two teams met in Chapel Hill for a ranked matchup as UNC was looking to get back to the ACC title game. Virginia Tech had other plans and flat-out dominated the game from the start as they beat UNC 34-3 in the pouring rain from Hurricane Matthew. Here are some photos from that game as we get set for Week 5.

Let’s hope Saturday’s matchup doesn’t go that way and UNC can come out victorious and get on track.
