Brennan Armstrong might be new to NC State this season, but UNC isn’t new to him at all. While Armstrong was on the Virginia football team, the Cavaliers were 3-2 against the Tar Heels.
Armstrong didn’t play in UVA’s 31-21 win over UNC in 2018. In 2019, he didn’t start in the Cavalier’s 38-31 victory over the Tar Heels, but he did complete his only pass attempt for 5 yards.
Armstrong took over the starting role the next year, and proceeded to put up some big numbers against UNC over the next three years.
In 2020, Armstrong was 12 of 22 for 208 yards with 3 touchdowns (1 interception) in a 44-41 win over the Tar Heels.
