Tar Heels, Demon Deacons enter football matchup with alternating profiles

Posted Oct 16, 2015
Two teams with contrasting profiles meet Saturday night at Kenan Stadium when Wake Forest visits North Carolina. Wake Forest has turned in some special defensive performances in a couple of narrow victories. North Carolina has cranked up its offense. “Being in a close game for them doesn’t scare them,” North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said of the Demon Deacons, who last week survived in a 3-0 decision at Boston College.
