North Carolina vs Virginia Game Preview
Why North Carolina Will Win
The Virginia offense doesn’t score.

What’s Going To Happen
The North Carolina defense will have its issues. It’ll get run on – the Cavaliers might have their best day of the year on the ground – and it’ll be hard to break out, but it’ll happen. Two second half touchdown passes will finally let the Tar Heels breathe easier.
Again, it’s not going to be smooth for North Carolina, but Virginia won’t have that extra gear when it needs it.
