Let’s be honest for a minute. North Carolina is going to win on Saturday. Georgia State got pounded by Army 43-10. Ignoring sack yardage, they only rushed for 75 yards. The game won’t be close. It’s honestly the game that Mack Brown wishes was the season opener.
This game won’t require schematic changes to defeat a conference opponent, so it’s a great opportunity to get back on track and work on UNC’s base packages. So this week’s X-Factor isn’t someone who is going to decide whether Carolina wins or not, it’s who needs to get right before Virginia comes to town next week.
