"I just have to outrun you." UNC faces something of the same proposition Saturday at Clemson. (MSN.com)

North Carolina vs Clemson Prediction: Can Belichick Beat Dabo?

North Carolina is great on defense, okay enough on offense to get by, and it needs the other side to screw up. That’s where Clemson comes in. The Tigers are committing too many penalties.
