The Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-0) hit the road for the first time this season with a trip to Chapel Hill on Saturday, where they will face the No. 20-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels (2-0). The Tar Heels bested border rival South Carolina in their season opener but needed double overtime last week to survive an upset bid by Appalachian State.
The Gophers are 3-10 against ranked opponents under P.J. Fleck.
Can North Carolina score on offense?
Obviously the headliner on offense for North Carolina is quarterback Drake Maye. As a redshirt freshman last year, the Tar Heels’ starting signal caller threw for 4,321 passing yards and 38 touchdowns, earning ACC Player of the Year honors among other accolades.
