UNC Football: Offensive keys to Saturday Night road battle with Georgia Tech

Carolina’s offense nearly reached 500 yards against UVA, but only scored 24 points due to penalties and lapses. What can UNC do against GT?

Just how much left does the UNC football team have to play for after Saturday night’s disappointing, 31-27 home loss to a lowly UVA team?

Quite a bit, actually, if the Tar Heels play their cards right. Believe it or not, an ACC Championship is still on the table.

Carolina has several winnable games left on its schedule, starting with this coming Saturday at Georgia Tech (8 p.m., ACC Network). The Yellow Jackets head into this matchup off a loss of their own – two weeks ago at home to Boston College.

Yet Georgia Tech is that one team, no matter its record, that always has Carolina’s number. The Yellow Jackets essentially ended UNC’s season last year, giving them the first of four consecutive losses, with a 21-17 victory.

Will Carolina be able to finally snag one against its historically most challenging football opponent, besides N.C. State? Let’s see what the boys in baby blue need to do – offensively – in hopes of rebounding.
