Tar Heels want to break strange streak

Posted Oct 14, 2010
North Carolina has lost 14 straight times in Charlottesville, dating back to 1981. The visiting Tar Heels are a 6 1/2-point favorite to end the streak. One of the things Virginia is going to have to figure out is a way to stop Tar Heels tailback Johnny White. In last weekend's game, a 21-16 win over Clemson in Chapel Hill, White accounted for 70.2 percent of the Tar Heels' offense. (Charlottesville Daily Progress)
