Va Tech Second Quarter

The 'Heels went for it on fourth and inches (very impressed with the play call by Head Coach Fedora) on their own 38 yard line and Gio Bernard broke over the left side untouched for a 62 yard TD run. A defensive pass interference penalty eventually leads to a Hokie field goal. UNC 21, Va Tech 17. A 76 yard TD drive by the 'Heels was capped off by a 1 yard A.J. Blue plunge. The highlight had to be a 26 yard completion to Tight End Eric Ebron down to the 1 yard line. He is turning into a serious stud at Tight End for the 'Heels and Bryn Renner's go to guy. A.J. Blue is also turning into the 'Heels short yardage guy that can pick up those tough yards. UNC 28, Va Tech 17. Now lets see some defensive intensity. I would hate for the Tarheels to enjoy any kind of momentum or prosperity. A muffed punt that would have set the Tarheels up in great field position led to a Hokie field goal. UNC 28, Va Tech 20 at Halftime. The 'Heels really picked up their offensive game in the second quarter as Renner finished 9 for 18 for 115 yards and Bernard topped 100 yards rushing in the first half. Virginia Tech seemed to come out with the intention of stopping North Carolina's screen game and in that they were effective. Defensively the 'Heels are not getting much of a pass rush on Hokie QB Logan Thomas. They need to make him feel uncomfortable back there.
