UNC vs. NC State: X-Factor

Related Topics: Josh Downs

It’s been three halves of football since Antoine Green has played a snap for the Tar Heels.

With a potential Heisman candidate in Drake Maye, Biletnikoff award semi-finalist Josh Downs, as well as a bunch of tight ends that have become a lot more involved in the offense, you’d think the loss of Green wouldn’t mean much. Unfortunately it has, and now how healthy he is on Friday becomes the X-factor for what to expect against the Wolfpack.

The numbers don’t lie: in six halves of football, Carolina has only scored 26 points — three touchdowns and a field goal.
