Carolina and Virginia Meet-Up for the 114th time in Chapel Hill Saturday @ Noon on (XM Radio 190) (TV NBC 29) (FM 97.5 WWWV) (AM 1070 WINA)
Some interesting facts about the two teams meeting in the South’s oldest college football rivalry. The series is tied for the fifth longest in Football Bowl Subdivision history. Minnesota and Wisconsin (118 games) have been playing the longest in all of big-time college football.
1. Carolina leads the all-time series 57-24-4 and has lost 9 of the last 11 to UVA.
2. The Tar Heels had just 17 yards rushing in last weeks loss against Georgia Tech.
3. UNC’s run defense allowed 317 yards rushing to Ga. Tech last Saturday.
4. Carolina is facing their second straight opponent who has had more than one week to get ready for them.
5. Butch Davis is only 15-14 while at Carolina in three seasons. But in the friendly confines of Kenan Stadium, Davis is 11-4
6. T.J. Yates is currently 4th all time at UNC in career passing yards as well as 4th in career touchdowns.
7. Carolina is battling a string of injuries on the offensive line and two true freshman (Bond and Williams) will see significant action Saturday on the line.
8. The game last year in Charlottesville between the two schools was the first overtime game in series history.
9. The Wahoos are 14-2-1 when committing fewer turnovers than Carolina.
10. Virginia has played six true freshman this year. On the other hand, Carolina has played 11 true freshman. In Al Groh’s tenure at UVA he has used 59 true freshman. Unbelievably ridiculous in my opinion.
11. The Hoos are 9-4 under Al Groh coming out of the bye week. Although, they lost to Duke last year after the bye week.
12. UVA plays 9 games against teams that went to bowl games in 2009. Florida State plays 11 which leads the nation in that category.
13. A question for you all: Why does Al Groh tuck his sweatshirt into his pants?
