Virginia picked up a massive win at North Carolina Saturday night, snapping a three-game road losing streak and boosting their chances of winning the ACC Coastal Division in the process. The Hoos can wrap up the Coastal with home wins over Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech.
By beating the Tar Heels, the Virginia Cavaliers also clinched bowl eligibility and improved its chances of going to an attractive bowl game. Bronco Mendenhall’s team once again distanced itself in the ACC bowl “standings,” and now has the luxury of three-straight home games to end the season. Unlike its ACC Coastal foes, Virginia has moved past the most difficult part of its 2019 schedule.
