Posted Oct 21, 2016
North Carolina does just about everything better than Virginia. Mitch Trubisky has been a more productive and efficient quarterback than Kurt Benkert. The Tar Heels run the ball a little better. The UNC receivers are among the best in the country. Defensively, UNC is more accomplished at everything besides rush defense. Prediction: UNC 41, Virginia 20 (Athlon Sports)
