Preview & Prediction: North Carolina vs Illinois

Posted Sep 19, 2015
Put simply, if UNC can't get a win at home against a middle-of-the-road B1G team when it has an experienced offensive unit and a improving defense in the fourth year of the Larry Fedora tenure, the confidence level in this program is going to drop in a hurry. Also, if UNC can't win this game then the odds of winning against teams in the ACC also get much longer. Prediction: UNC 35, Illinois 24 (Tar Heel Blog)
