North Carolina take on Virginia: Schedule, TV, streaming, odds
North Carolina Tar Heels Football
Through seven weeks of college football action, the No. 10 North Carolina Tar Heels have quietly crept up the US LBM Coaches Poll rankings as they've remained undefeated.
Most recently, UNC defeated the University of Miami Hurricanes at home to move to 6-0. The Tar Heels' sixth straight victory moved them up two spots into the top 10 in the Coaches Poll, with Oregon and USC's losses further helping their upward trend. They'll stay home in Week 8 to face the University of Virginia Cavaliers.
Quarterback Drake Maye was 17-33 passing against the Hurricanes for 273 yards and four touchdowns, including three connections with wide receiver Devontez "Tez" Walker, who finally made his Tar Heels debut following months of controversy surrounding his eligibility as a two-time transfer. In addition, running back Omarion Hampton had 197 rushing yards and a touchdown on 24 carries (8.2 yards per attempt).
Virginia comes to Chapel Hill after securing its first win of the season in Week 6 against William & Mary, 27-13. Cavaliers quarterback Tony Muskett completed all but nine of his 26 pass attempts for 232 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Wide receiver Malik Washington finished with 112 yards and a touchdown catch on seven receptions, and running back Perris Jones ran for 134 yards on 12 carries (11.2 yards per attempt).
