We won a game (Saturday), if we win one (Thursday) that’s two in a row. If we win one (16 days later) that’s called a winning streak. It’s happened before, SO LET’S JACK IT UP A LITTLE! - Lou Brown, Major League II
On a very quick turnaround, the North Carolina Tar Heels have a chance to do something that would’ve seemed impossible just four days ago— open 2-0 in ACC play with a nonzero chance of taking down the Coastal Division for the second time in four years.
Consider the contenders, defined as “all” in this wide-open division:
- Virginia Tech: just lost to Old freaking Dominion, dismissed its best defensive player, and shelved QB Josh Jackson for the foreseeable future;
- Virginia: just shelled Louisville, but Louisville appears to be very bad;
- Duke: a mighty impressive 4-0, but still without Daniel Jones, and potentially his backup.
