Since Virginia Tech has been part of the ACC, the Hokies have gone 9-3 against North Carolina, which is a fairly encouraging record against a program that has improved in recent years under head coach Larry Fedora. Hired in 2012, Fedora has gone 2-2 against the Hokies during his tenure in Chapel Hill. He brought an up-tempo spread offense that has left opposing defensive coordinators with more questions than answers. The Tar Heel passing offense is rolling into this game ranked 12th in passing offense, and overall the offense averages 484.2 yards per game so far this season.
