UNC Football vs. Minnesota: Scouting report, game prediction

Posted Sep 15, 2023
UNC faces Minnesota at Kenan Stadium on Saturday before the Tar Heels hit the road for their ACC opener at Pitt. Prediction: UNC 28, Minnesota 18: The Golden Gophers will try to play keep away, but Minnesota’s offense doesn’t have the firepower to keep up with Drake Maye and the Tar Heels. It’ll be a grind, but UNC will get some breathing room late. (Fayetteville Observer)
