If there’s one thing that anyone can agree on when it comes to this year’s UNC football team, it’s that you know it will find a way to make every game entertaining.

That penchant for the dramatic has earned the Tar Heels yet another prime-time game under the lights, as the ACC revealed Monday that UNC will host Virginia on Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Virginia currently leads the ACC Coastal Division at 5-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play, while the Tar Heels are fighting this weekend against Duke to try and remain in the hunt for the division title.

UNC has yet to play a game all year with a noon kick-off time, a wide departure from recent seasons.

This game against Virginia will be televised on the ACC Network and broadcast live on WCHL.
