UNC will attempt to slow down Virginia QB Brennan Armstrong in ‘The South’s Oldest Rivalry’

Posted Sep 14, 2021
As impressive as Sam Howell’s stats were Saturday, so were Brennan Armstrong’s. The Virginia quarterback threw for 405 yards and 5 touchdowns in their 42-14 win over Illinois. "Brennan played against us last year and did a great job. He’s tough, he’s smart. He can throw well in the pocket but can scramble and make plays as well," Mack Brown said. (CBS 17)
