2019 Virginia Football Opponent Preview: North Carolina Tar Heels

You absolutely, 100-percent knew what the soundtrack for this preview was going to be.

Last Year: 2-9

When a game that’s canceled by a hurricane is the second most positive weekend on your schedule, it’s been a rough year. Such was 2018 in Chapel Hill. A road loss to a decent Cal team was followed by a loss in Greenville to mediocre-at-best East Carolina. The Heels side-stepped a third potential stomping by UCF when Hurricane Florence struck the Carolinas. When the home opener finally came a week later, clouds appeared to be parting as UNC topped eventual Coastal Divison champs Pitt in a 38-35 thriller.
