The UNC football team earns its first conference victory of the season with a 59-39 romp of the Virginia Cavaliers.
Sam Howell threw for 307 yards and five touchdowns on a 14-for-21 passing performance, and the North Carolina Tar Heels beat the Virginia Cavaliers by a final score of 59-39 at Kenan Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.
Howell became the first Power 5 quarterback since Lamar Jackson to throw for 300 yards and run for 100 in back-to-back games. After racking up 104 yards on 11 carries last week, Howell carried the ball 15 times against the Cavaliers for 112 yards.
