We’re almost there.
Tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. on The CW, college football fans will tune in to witness UNC host UVA in its third consecutive home game. The Tar Heels provide offensive fireworks seemingly every game – first, those fireworks came in the forms of running backs British Brooks and Omarion Hampton, while Tar Heel Nation got to experience the Drake Maye-Devontez Walker connection we’ve all been waiting for last weekend.
UNC is also 6-0, which creates a massive target on its back. Outside of App State, the Tar Heels have downed opponents with relative ease. Into Chapel Hill comes a struggling, 1-5 UVA squad that just nabbed its first win two weekends ago.
On paper, tomorrow night should go down as an easy win for the Tar Heels. We said the same thing last year against Georgia Tech – Carolina was ranked, the Yellow Jackets struggled to find consistent rhythm.
Georgia Tech marched right into Kenan Stadium and dealt UNC its first of four straight losses.
If Carolina had taken care of the Yellow Jackets, who knows if the season would’ve ended differently? We could spend all day guessing, but we’re turning our focus over to UVA.
This Tar Heels team is too smart to play down to its competition, but we’ll just have to wait and see. While we wait, let’s look at five areas of focus.
