No. 1: Another 200+ yard rushing game

Last week, the UNC football program ran for 235 yards against Miami, a team whose defense came into that matchup being one of the best run-stopping defenses in the country.

On the contrary, Virginia’s run defense hasn’t been very good, as they have allowed an average of 177 rushing yards per contest.

See where I’m going here?

It will be another big day on the ground for the UNC football program, as I think they might even surpass last week’s production. Omarion Hampton should have another big day on the ground, but I ultimately think that another back will get back on track in this one…

Who could that player be? Well, you’ll have to go to the next slide to find out!
