Preview: Virginia Tech Hokies at North Carolina Tar Heels

Posted Oct 4, 2012
The game comes down to whether Virginia Tech can resolve its issues in the secondary. The Hokies gave up 392 passing yards to Cincinnati last week, the most they have given up since 2003. UNC quarterback Bryn Renner could have a big day if a traditionally tough Virginia Tech pass defense doesn't get it together. Prediction: North Carolina 30, Virginia Tech 24 (CBS Sports)
