The Tar Heels are getting set to take on Wake Forest in their first face-off since 2022. The atmosphere for this one should be good — Kenan Stadium is doing a blue out, it’s an 8pm game, and it’s against an in-state opponent. What more could you ask for? I’ll answer that question: a win to make your team bowl eligible. A pretty reasonable request if I may say so myself.
Thankfully this game should play out in the Heels’ favor, but obviously nothing is guaranteed either. The Demon Deacons have struggled quite a bit this season, and they are pretty awful at protecting their quarterback.
