UNC eyeing first ACC football title since 1980
Posted Sep 16, 2008
One stretch of futility at North Carolina is over, but another runs deeper and longer. UNC will begin its pursuit of the ACC title on Saturday when Virginia Tech visits Kenan Stadium for a 3:30 p.m. game. UNC last won the title in 1980 but this season's team is trying to end the drought, the longest time that the program has gone without an ACC title since the conference was founded in 1953.
