CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. _ North Carolina senior receiver Mack Hollins, who learned earlier this week that his college playing days were over, stood on the sideline, his arm in a sling, cheering on his teammates, encouraging them, yelling for them.
The Tar Heels were without two other regular starters on the offensive line, too. For one day, at least, UNC didn't miss what it was without, and it methodically imposed its will on Saturday during a 35-14 victory at Virginia.
After years of prolonged misery against the Cavaliers, the Tar Heels are the ones inflicting pain these days in what's known as The Oldest Rivalry in the South. Their victory on Saturday was their seventh consecutive against Virginia, and UNC also won its ninth consecutive road game.
