North Carolina-NC State Preview Capsule

Posted Nov 26, 2015
Key Matchup: UNC's defensive front vs. N.C. State's running game. The Wolfpack left the Tar Heels beat up physically and on the scoreboard in last year's 35-7 win, running for 388 yards. This year's team has lost top rushers Shadrach Thornton (dismissal) and Matt Dayes (injury), and the Tar Heels have been significantly improved under new defensive coordinator Gene Chizik.
