Virginia at North Carolina Preview

Posted Oct 21, 2005

Senior quarterback Matt Baker has shown steady improvement this season, as he is connecting on 52 % of his passes for 1229 yards and six touchdowns. North Carolina has had their struggles running the ball, averaging just 91 yards per game and a paltry 2.6 yards per carry. Aside from the blowout two weeks ago, the Tar Heels defense has looked strong of late. (Real Football 365)
