Preview / This game was originally scheduled to be played @ Rio de Jenerio, Brazil (Nilton Santos Stadiun) / The Game has been moved to Charlotteville, VA / The home field of UVA, as a result, the game is no longer a neutral site contest / The teams have met on 59 occasions / NC State leads the series, 37-21-1 / It should be noted that this is the all-time record, that both, UVA & NC State, have agreed to! / The teams do not count VA's wins in 1944 & 1945 because of depleted rosters due to WW II / So if you look for the all-time record between the schools, be prepared for discripancies (Winsipedia, 38-23-1 while Phil Steele's Magazine has it 38-22-1) / Both Steele & Winsipedia count the 1908 win by UVA, 6-0, yet neither school sees that game as an official varsity encounter! / To learn this ... It took 45 minutes of my life that I will never get back ... yet ... mystery Solved!
