Heel predicts ACC crown

Posted Aug 5, 2008

The Tar Heels, who haven't had a winning season since 2001, are expected to do much better this season. While Virginia Tech has been picked to win the Coastal Division in an ACC media poll, UNC was chosen to finish second. The Tar Heels have even higher expectations. "We'll win the ACC this year," safety Deunta Williams said at the ACC's recent preseason media gathering in Greensboro, Ga. (Roanoke Times)
