UNC Football vs. Appalachian State Prediction and Scouting Report

Posted Sep 8, 2023
Prediction: UNC 41, App State 20. After allowing an average of 47.5 points in their past two games against the Mountaineers, the Tar Heels will carry their Week 1 performance into their home opener with another impressive defensive effort. Following a disappointing stretch to end 2022, QB Drake Maye will get back on track with a stellar showing. (Fayetteville Observer)
