Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Virginia and North Carolina put on a display of high-flying offense under the lights in Chapel Hill, with the two teams combining for a total of 52, 69, and 85 points, respectively over each of the past three years. But UNC got the better of the exchange this year behind 392 rushing yards en route to a 59-39 win—Mack Brown’s first over UVA in the Bronco Mendenhall era.
Brennan Armstrong set Virginia’s single-game passing yardage record with 554 yards through the air, passing for more than 300 yards in the first half alone, but the UVA run game was non-existent and the defense must have stayed in Charlottesville.
