Virginia Tech vs. North Carolina: Complete preview & prediction

The No. 19 Virginia Tech Hokies (2-0) head south to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face the No. 8 North Carolina Tar Heels (2-0) in a pivotal early-season ACC matchup.

The Tar Heels were a preseason media darling due to the presence of sophomore quarterback Sam Howell and second-year head coach Mack Brown. Brown is entering his second year of his second tenure at UNC and has the Tar Heels red-hot on the recruiting trail.

Through their first two games, Carolina has defeated Syracuse and Boston College.

The story of Virginia Tech’s young season is COVID-19 and Khalil Herbert.
