UNC Tar Heels vs UVA Cavaliers

Lawrence Jordan: Ok. I've fought off the final stages of mourning after the proper demolishing the Tar Heels took at the hands of the Yellow Jackets (their hulluva engineers). The Tar Heels host the hapless Cavaliers this weekend, and it's time to get back on track. Why the Tar Heels will win...

• UVA is one of the few teams in Div. 1 that average less yards per game than UNC.
• The defense will hold UVA's running attack and they will be forced to pass the ball - leading to a couple of interceptions.
• UVA is winless entering the weekend with losses to Bill&Mary and Southern Miss stinging their resume. They might be rested but they certainly aren't confident.
• The Tar Heels return back to Chapel Hill to regroup. The friendly confines of Beautiful Kenan Stadium will welcome the boys back with open arms.

Final Score:
North Carolina 21
Virginia 10

Philip Thompson: Why UNC will lose...

• This is UNC vs UVA. The Cavs have dominated this series over the last 25 years.
• Al Groh is like a Cockroach. You can’t kill him. Every year when you think he is at the end of the rope, Groh pulls off a big upset to get the boosters off his back.
• UVA’s offense looked much better during the Southern Miss game when the scrapped the spread offense and went more traditional. Their personnel is much better suited to this type of offense

Final Score
UVA 23
UNC 17
