Carolina heads up to Blacksburg to try and exorcise some demons against the Hokies this afternoon. UNC hasn’t found a lot of success against Virginia Tech in the last couple seasons, but beating them will be essential to the Heels’ ambition of meeting Clemson again in the ACC Championship Game at the end of the season.
The Heels will also be looking to make it two straight road wins after the pre-bye week victory in Atlanta two weeks ago. The schedule going forward is slightly favorable for UNC, but they must uphold their end of things in order to control their own destiny.
