Check out this record...0-11-1! That's North Carolina's spread mark its last 12 games vs. FBS-level foes...a full season's worth of games. (The Tar Heels' lone spread cover since midseason a year ago came vs. FCS-level Campbell). Rumors are starting to swirl in Chapel Hill that Mack Brown's second tenure might be nearing the end of the line after four straight defeats. (The buyout is also reportedly very manageable, beneath $3 million.) The defense has been spotty for new coordinator Geoff Collins, and QB Jacolby Criswell, who took over early for an injured Max Johnson, has only sporadically sparked the offense. Meanwhile, Virginia continues to cover numbers almost every week, now 12-3-1 vs. the line since early 2023, and staying within the spread last week vs. a Clemson side with Dabo Swinney looking to run up scores is a feather in the Wahoos' cap.
