North Carolina Tar Heels:
North Carolina will have third-year quarterback Sam Howell get the start, who many people believe is one the top quarterbacks in the nation. Last season at home against the Hokies, he led his team to a 56-45 victory.
In that matchup, he went 18 of 23 for 257 total yards and 3 touchdowns. The story of that game was the rushing attack for both teams, with Virginia Tech putting up 260 total yards, but North Carolina destroying their defensive line putting up 399 rushing yards.
Last season, UNC scored an average of 41 points per game, but on defense they gave up an average of 31.3 points per game. Sam Howell’s 68 touchdown passes are the most in ACC history for a player through two seasons, so it’s going to interesting to see what he can do in this one.
