Chapel Hill, N.C. – North Carolina (2-4, 0-2 ACC) will be looking for its first win over an ACC/Power Four opponent for the first time in nearly a year when it takes on No. 16 Virginia (6-1, 3-0 ACC) at Kenan Stadium on Saturday.
North Carolina is coming off a tough 21-18 road loss to Cal. Ben Hall paced the Tar Heels with 68 rushing yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Kobe Paysour broke out with six catches for 101 yards. Quarterback Gio Lopez went 19-of-35 for 163 yards, navigating tighter passing windows—a result of improved health after battling injuries earlier this season.
