North Carolina defeats Virginia Tech 56-45

The No. 8 North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the No. 19 Virginia Tech Hokies 56-45 on Saturday in Chapel Hill.

The Tar Heels blitzed the Hokies early, jumping out to a 21-0 lead, while the Hokies went three-and-out on both of their first two possessions.

Tech finally got something going, scoring two consecutive touchdowns to pull within seven points at 21-14.

However, the defense had no answer.

UNC scored again to make it 28-14. Next, the Hokies get the ball back and after a failed wide receiver screen to Tayvion Robinson, Tech calls a timeout and goes for it on fourth-and-three.
