CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Virginia Tech arrived at Kenan Stadium on Saturday hoping not only to wrap up the Coastal Division and a third visit to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in four seasons, but also looking to pull off a season sweep of the state of North Carolina. The Hokies had already defeated East Carolina, N.C. State, Wake Forest and Duke this season, with the Tar Heels last on the list.To be fair, that feat would be far more astounding if the Hokies basketball program could pull it off. It's hardly a reach in football, with Virginia Tech once again the class of the ACC.
If there was any doubt about that, the Hokies put down yet another hopeful with a convincing 26-10 dismissal of North Carolina. The win kept the Hokies (8-2) undefeated in the ACC at 6-0 as they moved a step closer to clinching the division. Had Georgia Tech defeated Miami Saturday, the title would already be Virginia Tech's.
The Hokies, who have won eight in a row, close out the schedule at Miami on Nov. 20 and at home against Virginia Nov. 27, needing a win in one of the two or a loss by the Hurricanes to seal it.
North Carolina (6-4, 3-3) made a game of it for a half on Saturday, taking a 10-9 lead as the Tar Heels kept Virginia Tech out of the end zone in the first half. But North Carolina buckled in the second half, committing six turnovers.
