Virginia vs, North Carolina Game Notes

  • The series between Virginia and North Carolina, which began with a 30-18 UVA victory on October 22nd, 1892 in Charlottesville, is tied with Georgia-Auburn as the second-most played rivalry in all of college football (129th meeting this season), trailing only Wisconsin-Minnesota, which has been played 133 times.
  • UVA and UNC have played each other every season since 1919 and the Tar Heels lead the all-time series 65-59-4, though both programs count the 1956 meeting as win, as North Carolina forfeited that game due to the use of an ineligible player.
  • Virginia leads North Carolina 27-26 in games played in Charlottesville, but the series is tied at 23-23 in games played at Scott Stadium.
  • UVA has won five of the last seven meetings against UNC, including a 31-27 upset victory over then-No. 10 North Carolina last year in Chapel Hill. That was Virginia's first road victory over a top 10 opponent in program history after being 0-30 in those games up to that point.
  • Virginia is seeking its third ACC win and third home win of the season, both of which would be most in the Tony Elliott era.
  • UVA has held a lead in each of its seven games so far this season.
  • Tony Elliott is 1-1 against North Carolina as head coach at Virginia, while Mack Brown has a 5-10 record against UVA in his head coaching career.
