Ground game crucial in UNC-State series
Posted Nov 7, 2007
For running backs at N.C. State and North Carolina, the yards have been hard to come by this season. Still, keep an eye on the ball carriers Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. In this rivalry, the team that runs the best usually fares the best. In the past 15 meetings, the team with the most yardage on the ground has won 14 times. UNC broke the cycle in 2004 when it captured a 30-24 decision despite being outrushed 304-164.
