Virginia Tech football: Gobbler Country Staff Picks

Jay Johnson (6-0)

The Tar Heels have played a few decent teams close (California, Louisville, and UVA), but have largely been beat up on by conference foes. Between the off field issues and talent loss from last year UNC is simply not in a place to compete in the ACC. The only way the Hokies drop this game is if they play four full sloppy quarters. I don't expect any fireworks like we saw against ECU, but I also don't expect VT to be as flat as they were against BC. After this trip to Blacksburg the Heels will take their seventh loss and watch bowl season from the comfort of their couches.
