Last year’s contest between the Virginia Cavaliers and the North Carolina Tar Heels was a back and forth, at times sloppy affair, but the Hoos were still able to come away with a victory, 20-14. UNC’s first and only lead of the game came off of a 47 yard touchdown run from Michael Carter, who gave UVA problems all game. Olamide Zaccheaus responded shortly thereafter, however, scampering 81 yards up the sideline for six. While Virginia’s run defense struggled, Carter earned 157 yards off just 13 carries, Virginia’s pass defense did their job, holding QB Brandon Harris to 46 yards through the air and forcing him to throw three interceptions.
