Tale of the Tape: UNC-Illinois

Posted Sep 17, 2015
The numbers say this will be a stiff test for UNC's offense. Illinois' defensive numbers through two games are downright filthy.

Illinois has yet to give up a touchdown, held the first opponents to a paltry 2.9 yards per play and limited 3rd down conversions to just 12%. (Tar Heel Blog)
