UNC-California: Matchups to Watch

Posted Aug 28, 2018
UNC Secondary v. Ross Bowers: The Tar Heels allowed 223 yards per game (63rd) and a passer rating of 133.5 (80th) in 2017. Bowers threw for 253.3 yards per game last season, including 363 yards against the Tar Heels. UNC's secondary, led by safeties J.K. Britt and Myles Dorn and cornerback K.J. Sails, needs to keep Bowers in check by limiting the big plays. (Inside Carolina)
