Last week was a forgettable one for Mack Brown’s squad. Coming off a bye week, they failed to take advantage of a struggling Notre Dame team and took a beating as a result. They will all be looking for a better performance today when they welcome Virginia Tech to Chapel Hill.
Earlier this week it looked like this might be a repeat of when the Tar Heels and Hokies played in Chapel Hill during Hurricane Matthew. The storm came through earlier than previously expected, and today’s weather looks like a nice fall afternoon for football.
A lot of attention has been on Gene Chizik and the defense.
