Expect a Physical, Defensive Showdown Between UNC and Wake Forest

Posted Nov 15, 2025
With two wins needed to become bowl eligible, UNC begins by facing a challenge on Tobacco Road. The first opponent: Wake Forest. Two of the ACC’s best defenses will square off, as both the Tar Heels and Demon Deacons rank in the top 40 nationally. That stands to reason, since Bill Belichick and Wake’s Jake Dickert are defensive-minded coaches. (Sports Illustrated)
