Virginia vs. North Carolina Preview

Posted Oct 15, 2008
With one of its big offensive playmakers sidelined by a season-ending knee injury, North Carolina is hoping the defense's ability to create scoring opportunities will make up for the loss. The No. 18 Tar Heels will be missing star receiver Brandon Tate for the first time in four years on Saturday as they look to snap a 13-game losing streak at Charlottesville in an ACC matchup with Virginia. North Carolina hasn't beaten Virginia on the road since 1981. (CBS Sportsline)
