Virginia Tech is better at almost every position than North Carolina this season. The Tar Heels quarterback play must get better, but won’t change overnight. Look for the Hokies to apply pressure on Brandon Harris this week.

The Tar Heels have nowhere to turn offensively. Harris need to be benched at quarterback, but North Carolina’s lack of depth has hurt them at the most important position on the field.
Expect Virginia Tech to dominate the ball on both sides this week. The Hokies defense should hold the Carolina offense to less than 300 yards. Take the Hokies at home for the blowout win.
