UNC-N.C. State hardly ever so close

Posted Nov 4, 2011
Maybe the disconnect between the fan bases and coaching staffs at UNC and N.C. State has never been further apart, but on the football field, the series has rarely been closer in its 100-game history. Starting with Mack Brown's final win in the rivalry for Carolina in 1997, each team has won seven games. The Tar Heels hold a 63-31 victory edge in the rivalry (with six ties) (Charlotte Observer)
