North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Prediction and Preview

Posted Oct 11, 2018
Larry Fedora hoped Chazz Surratt would have taken control of UNC's offense. But he made a bad choice off the field that led to his suspension, made poor decisions when he returned to action, and now he's out for the season with a wrist injury. So Nathan Elliott will continue to run the offense. The Hokies are still in good shape with a 2-0 ACC record. Prediction: VT 38, UNC 21 (Athlon Sports)
