The Tar Heels are quietly sneaking higher in the Associated Press top 25 following a 35-14 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday in Charlottesville.
Howbeit, it wasn’t as easy of a victory as the score might allude.
The North Carolina offense got passed a sluggish first 2 and a half quarters, in which they coughed up two fumbles, along with a once again solid October week of defense.
The Heels find themselves easing up the AP ranks, moving up to number 21 after the first eight weeks of the 2016-17 season.
They were without doubt more balanced as overall team in the second half.
