Football Game Preview: Virginia Tech at North Carolina

To say that the UNC defense was beaten up front by the Rutgers offensive line would be an understatement. Mauled, blown off the ball, or beaten to a pulp would be better ways to put it. Time after time, Rutgers just handed the ball off to tailback Ray Rice on simple running plays up the middle, and each time he would head upfield for a big gain. On many of his runs, he never even made contact with a defender until he was eight or 10 yards upfield. (Tech Sideline)
