UNC Football vs. Virginia: Winners, Losers, & Honorable Mentions

Say this much about Carolina Football in 2019: it’s not boring. After five wins in two years, plus a 2016 campaign that ended with an inexplicable collapse in Durham and a complete no-show against the Wolfpack in Chapel Hill, Mack Brown has come in and restored the entertainment value in the football program.

Unfortunately, more wins haven’t come along with that.

Saturday Night was the latest example. Bryce Perkins was able to run roughshod over the team in Kenan, putting the Virginia Cavaliers in the driver’s seat for the ACC Coastal division crown. It leaves the Tar Heels needing two wins in their final three games just to qualify for a bowl.
