Countdown to Kickoff: UNC vs. UVa

Posted Oct 18, 2008
No. 18 North Carolina is looking to build on its 5-1 (1-1 ACC) record this weekend against Virginia, but the journey to Charlottesville has not been a pleasant one for the Tar Heels since 1981. Butch Davis is hoping to change that in his first visit to Scott Stadium on Saturday. North Carolina’s last triumph over the Cavaliers in Virginia was a 17-14 victory on Nov. 14, 1981 – several months after MTV’s initial launch. (Inside Carolina)
