North Carolina is not yet in control of its future when it comes to a return appearance in the ACC Championship Game as Virginia Tech holds the tiebreaker over the Tar Heels if those two teams end up tied at the top of the Coastal Division standings at the end of the regular season.But the No. 22 Tar Heels are sitting in a much better position heading into Saturdays game against Virginia at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va., (3 p.m. ET, RSN) than they were a week ago when they were bound for Miami coming off the big loss to the Hokies.The win over the Hurricanes put North Carolina (5-2, 3-1 ACC) alone in first place in the division when the Hokies lost at Syracuse to fall to 2-1 in league play.Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, however, their 20-13 victory over the Hurricanes came with a price.They lost wide receiver Mack Hollins to a broken collarbone and the senior will miss the rest of the season after having surgery. Hollins led North Carolina in touchdown catches with four among his 16 receptions. His 19.3 yards per catch average was tops among receivers with more than one catch.Fortunately for the Tar Heels, they do have depth at the position. Wide receiver Ryan Switzer has 58 catches for 606 yards, Bug Howard 29 for 429 and Austin Proehl 24 for 302. Running backs T.J. Logan and Elijah Hood have a combined 34 catches for 229 yards.We still got some guys that can stretch the field vertically, North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said. That doesnt overly concern me.Well miss Macks ability to do it. Thats probably the thing he does best, but weve got some guys who can get behind people.The Tar Heels, who have won six straight over Virginia, have gone through what arguably is the toughest part of their schedule with their four remaining conference games against teams with a combined 3-8 league mark. In addition to Virginias 1-1 conference record, Georgia Tech is 1/3 in league play, Duke 0-3 and North Carolina State 1-1. North Carolina also has a non-conference affair against The Citadel.None of the conference games figures to be pushovers, though the Tar Heels likely will be favored in all four.If they are able to run the table, they still need Virginia Tech to lose at least one more time to get to the ACC title game. North Carolina already has beaten Pittsburgh (5-2, 2-1).Virginia (2-4, 1-1) could be an interesting matchup. The Cavaliers began the season by losing their first three games (Richmond, Oregon, Connecticut) but notched a win over Central Michigan before opening conference play by beating Duke 24-10. They lost a high-scoring 45-31 affair to Pittsburgh last week.I like my team, first-year coach Bronco Mendenhall said. I like how hard they try and how theyve embraced the culture. And were moving up the scale of the effort and intent to position mastery and execution.Thats basically where our team is right now. So were becoming better in terms of our position mastery and playing our spots. Execution is not holding yet long enough from beginning to end in all three phases to have the outcomes that we would like.But more and more plays are looking how we would like them to be.Cavaliers quarterback Kurt Benkert, a transfer from East Carolina, has passed for 421, 336, and 278 yards the last three games but has seven interceptions against 14 touchdown passes for the season.The Cavaliers have a two-back approach to the rushing game with Taquan Mizzell rushing for a team-best 355 yards and Albert Reid 346.Defensively, the Cavaliers had some success at times stopping the run, holding Central Michigan to 93 yards rushing and Duke to 106, but gave up 209 yards to Pittsburgh their last outing and 301 to Oregon early in the season.Were still missing more plays in open field than what I would like, Mendenhall said. But were starting to make more than what we had before. So a work in progress.The series, which North Carolina leads 63-53-4, began in 1892 and is billed as the oldest rivalry in the South.

Prosecutors, who this week charged Hernandez with murder, havent said who fired the shots that killed his friend Odin Lloyd, a Boston semi-pro football player. Carlos Ortiz, who was arrested in Connecticut but was transferred to Massachusetts to face the gun charge, and Ernest Wallace, who walked into a South Florida police station to surrender, were identified earlier as being with Hernandez and Lloyd the night of his shooting death, a prosecutor said. Ortiz was charged Friday with carrying an unlicensed firearm in North Attleborough on June 17, the day Lloyd was found shot to death near Hernandezs home there. Details of the charge werent released. Wallace, whose wanted poster was released Thursday night, surrendered in Miramar, Fla., police said. Authorities had been seeking Wallace on a charge of acting as an accessory after Lloyds murder. Details of that allegation also werent released. Police arrested Hernandez on Wednesday at his home and charged him with orchestrating Lloyds execution-style shooting. Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated the killing because Lloyd talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez, Ortiz and Wallace were in a Nissan Altima with Lloyd shortly before his death, Bristol County, Mass., District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter said. "We now have in custody the three individuals who were in the silver Nissan Altima," Sutter said Friday when Ortiz was arraigned on the gun charge in Attleboro District Court. All three men have ties to Bristol, Conn.: Hernandez grew up there, Ortiz had been living there and authorities had conflicting addresses for Wallace there and in Miramar. Hernandez pleaded not guilty to murder and was denied bail Thursday. Ortiz also was being held without bail pending a court hearing on July 9. Wallace was taken to a jail in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., pending extradition proceedings, police said. Hernandezs lawyer argued in court that the case is circumstantial. He said Hernandez, who was cut by the Patriots the day he was arrested, wanted to clear his name. Ortizs attorney, John Connors, said he will seek bail for his client at the July 9 hearing. He described Ortiz as a "gentle person" and said he will advise Ortiz to plead not guilty. "I can say that his charge has nothing to do with homicide," Connors said. Wallace walked into the police station and told officers there was a warrant for his arrest, which officers confirmed bby checking a computer database.dddddddddddd "He stated he knew he had a warrant because he saw himself on TV," Miramar police Officer Gil Bueno said. "He was very co-operative. It was uneventful." An attorney for Wallace, David Meier, told The Boston Globe that his client was visiting his mother and other relatives in Miramar when he realized he was wanted in Massachusetts and went to police. Meier said Wallace intends to return to Massachusetts "as soon as possible." Earlier Friday, Ortiz appeared in Bristol Superior Court in Connecticut, where a judge authorized turning him over to a Massachusetts state trooper and a North Attleborough officer. A friend and a relative of Ortiz said outside the courthouse that they were stunned by his arrest. They said Ortiz is the devoted father of two girls and a boy, all under the age of 9. Ortiz was unemployed recently but previously worked a long time at a Savers clothing store, they said. They also said they couldnt believe Ortiz could be part of a murder. "Hes not that type of person. He has a good heart," said friend Milton Montesdeoca, who added he didnt know Hernandez and never heard Ortiz talk about the football star. Also Friday, authorities said law enforcement officers recovered in Bristol a car Wallace was seen driving before he surrendered. Meanwhile, Lloyds relatives were preparing for his funeral in Boston on Saturday. A relative said the service will be at Church of the Holy Spirit in the citys Mattapan section. Lloyd played for the Boston Bandits and was dating the sister of Hernandezs fiancee. Authorities have said trouble that led to Lloyds killing happened June 14, when Lloyd went with Hernandez to a Boston nightclub. Hernandez became upset when Lloyd began talking with people Hernandez apparently didnt like, prosecutors said. On June 16, the night before the slaying, a prosecutor said, Hernandez texted two unidentified friends and asked them to hurry to Massachusetts from Connecticut. A few minutes later, he texted Lloyd to tell him he wanted to get together, prosecutors said. Authorities say the three men picked up Lloyd at around 2:30 a.m. June 17, drove him to an industrial park near Hernandezs home and shot him five times. Prosecutors said an ammunition clip was found in Hernandezs Hummer and matched the calibre of casings found at the scene of Lloyds killing. Hernandez, who was drafted by the Patriots in 2010 and signed a five-year contract worth $40 million last summer, could face life in prison if convicted. ------ Collins reported from Bristol, Conn.
