You're surprised? UNC is really good
UNC beat Elon, Idaho and East Carolina for 3 of their 4 wins. Their other win came against 2-3 Virginia Tech. They lost to Wake, which is like losing to Boston College. They have a great offense, but their numbers are skewed because they put up 60+ against both Elon and Idaho. They have a great RB and a good QB, and will put up yards and points against us, but for them to favored by 6.5 on the road, is a near jerk reaction to us losing to Notre Dame. UNC is not better than NC State, or not much better, and we beat them. Being favored by 6.5 on the road is like being favored by 9.5 or 10 at a neutral site. I know it's the cool thing to do to post "118" or "we're bad" or whatever, but UNC is not that much better than us, if they are better at all. This will be a shootout and a tossup.
They put up 48 on VT last week and we gave up **** near 400 yards rushing and 41 to a much worse offense in Notre Dame.
Those other games don't mean ****. College football is a "what have you done for me lately" game.
I agree with you though that the line is pretty shocking.
VT was blown out by a Pitt team that was blown out by I-AA Youngstown State. Putting that up on VT isn't impressive, especially a 2-3 VT team with the #64 defense in the nation.
