The University of North Carolina football team was expected to implode this season after head coach Butch Davis was fired just before fall camp began. Yet here the Heels are at 2-0 as they host fellow 2-0 club Virginia in the ACC opener for both teams. UNC opened as a 10-point favorite on Bodog’s NCAA football odds.

North Carolina beat Rutgers 24-22 last weekend. Freshman Giovani Bernard scored on runs of 60 and 6 yards for the Tar Heels, who overcame five turnovers to begin the season with consecutive wins for the third time in the last four seasons. Bryn Renner was 20 of 26 for 273 yards and a touchdown for North Carolina, but did throw three picks. The Heels lead the ACC and are third in the country in rushing defense (30.0 per game) after limiting Rutgers to just 1 yard on the ground. The win over Rutgers was the first time UNC had won a game while committing five turnovers since 1995 vs. Louisville.

Virginia hasn’t exactly played tough competition so far, routing James Madison in its opener and then squeaking by Big Ten bottomfeeder Indiana 34-31 last week. Defensive end Cam Johnson forced an IU fumble with 1:13 left in the game, setting up a 23-yard field goal for the win. The Cavs were up 23-3 early in the third quarter before falling behind 31-23.

The Cavaliers have won two straight in Kenan Stadium and seven of the last nine overall in the series. Carolina ended a 14-game road losing streak to Virginia with a 44-10 rout in Charlottesville last year. UNC hasn’t beaten Virginia in back to back years since 1981-82.
