North Carolina vs Virginia Tech Game Notes PDF highlights:

• A win Saturday vs. Virginia Tech would assure the Tar Heels of a winning record for the third consecutive season, a feat which has not been accomplished since Carolina had nine straight winning seasons from 1990-98 
• Tar Heel Head Coach Butch Davis has six wins over ranked teams in four seasons at UNC
• Carolina will play its first game of the season without Johnny White this Saturday vs. Virginia Tech. Entering last week’s game at FSU, White was leading the ACC in yards from scrimmage and was on pace to become the school’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 1997 
• Three of the top six single-game receiving yard performances in UNC history have occurred this season – 233 by Dwight Jones vs. Florida State (ranks 2nd), 221 by Jheramie Boyd vs. LSU (ranks 3rd) and 198 by Jones at Virginia (ranks 6th) 
• QB TJ Yates needs nine completions to set the UNC career record. He has 693 completions and trails only Darian Durant, who had 701 from 2001-04. Yates needs 485 yards to become Carolina’s all-time passing leader. He currently ranks second behind Darian Durant, who threw for 8,755 yards from 2001-04
