Run game key for UNC in BC showdown

Posted Oct 26, 2013
North Carolina has struggled to run the ball and to stop the run this season, two big reasons why the Tar Heels have the worst record in the ACC. Their ability to do both will be instrumental in breaking a four-game losing streak today against Boston College. The Eagles (3-3, 1-2) feature Andre Williams, who is averaging 5.3 yards a carry and is fifth in the nation in rushing yards per game (139.7). (Durham Herald-Sun)
