Game Preview: #5 Virginia Tech vs. North Carolina

Posted Nov 23, 2005

The Tar Heels will show up in Blacksburg ready to play. They have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. If they lose, they won’t go to a bowl game. Big deal. They weren’t supposed to. But if they win, they get to go bowling and a victory on the road at Virginia Tech would be John Bunting’s signature win during his tenure. Expect UNC to throw the kitchen sink at the Hokies on both sides of the ball. (Tech Sideline)
