Football Schedule Preview: The Mid-season Games

Posted Aug 16, 2013
The meat of the schedule starts with a trip to Blacksburg to face Virginia Tech. This is expected to be a tough game and in all likelihood one UNC will not be expected to win. The Tar Heels won the 2012 tilt between these two teams 48-34 on the strength of a record setting performance from Gio Bernard. It stands to reason UNC won't be getting that kind of effort from A.J. Blue, Romar Morris, etc. (Tar Heel Blog)
