SPORTS // With the football season now in its late stages, it is becoming clear that Virginia should focus primarily on bowl eligibility and on a win against Virginia Tech. A loss to Miami has dug the Cavaliers (3-5, 1-4 ACC) into a hole with only one victory in the ACC, yet perhaps Coach Tony Elliott’s team can catch a spark with No. 17 North Carolina coming to town. Thanks to the last two triumphs over the Tar Heels (7-1, 4-0 ACC) at Scott Stadium, history suggests that the Cavaliers stand a chance at home. A noon kickoff certainly doesn’t help the case for a strong home advantage, but the South’s Oldest Rivalry has often been a landscape for unforeseen upsets.  Kickoff is scheduled for noon Saturday, and the game will be televised on ACC Network.
