First play of the week is UNC over VT. I have watched both teams play all of their games this year and I have come to a few conclusions. Virginia Tech is going to struggle this year in the ACC. I see them losing to UNC, BC, FLA ST and maybe even @ Miami. Good thing for them though is the fact that they dont have to deal with Clemson or Wake. This Virginia Tech teams biggest problem is their inability to score. If they do score it's because their defense put them in a position to do so. On the other hand I have watched UNC and after being very unimpressed with their game against McNeese St they caught my attention when they absolutely crushed Rutgers on their own field. Im gonna be on UNC this week for a few reasons. They know this is their chance to get the country's attention by beating up on Va Tech. If they win this game they are going to be sky high heading into the meat of their schedule. I know it is very early but this IMO is the biggest game in UNC football history to date. If they get this win they will have all the confidence they need to compete in a mediocre at best ACC. Their road ACC games consist of Maryland, Virginia, Miami and Duke and these are all very winnable games. They get Va Tech, BC and Georgia Tech at home this year. This team is very capable of competing in the ACC and maybe even winning it. I look for UNC to keep on doing what they have been doing all year and giving Va Tech heavy doses of Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate. If Yates can get them the ball early and often I think this game will be another Rutgers type matchup. UNC beat up on Rutgers because they made Teal turn the ball over. Glennon for Va Tech has looked terrible (and thats being easy on him) this year and this is one thing UNC has been doing very well all year. Capitalizing on turnovers. Teams look to be about even from watching both of them play. Va Tech has a slight defensive advantage while UNC has a slight offensive advantage. Line puts the game pretty much even so I will play on a HOME UNC team in front of a huge crowd @ Kenan Memorial. UNC fans finally have something to cheer about other than the Basketball teams. Say UNC wins this one 27-24
