UNC Football vs. NC Central: Scouting report and prediction

Posted Sep 13, 2024
UNC football hasn’t lost to an FCS program in nearly 25 years. The Tar Heels will put that streak to the test Saturday against N.C. Central. Prediction: UNC 44, NC Central 14. After getting 75 players on the field against Charlotte, expect much of the same from UNC in Week 3. This is another opportunity for the Tar Heels to gain confidence across the roster.
