North Carolina vs. Virginia Tech: Three Things Learned

Posted Oct 2, 2022
Virginia Tech has the 106th ranked offense in FBS, averaging just 330 yards per game. UNC simply had to get more from their defense. They did. This defense will never be confused for the 1997 team that beat Virginia Tech in the Gator Bowl, but they don’t need to be. They just have to get enough stops to let Drake Maye and the offense do their thing. (Tar Heel Blog)
