North Carolina vs Wofford Game Preview
Why Wofford Will Win
There’s a chance North Carolina QB Sam Howell doesn’t go in this, or is limited.
He suffered what’s being termed as an upper body injury late in the overtime loss to Pitt. With or without him, with the showdown at NC State coming up next, there might not be the team’s full focus here against a Terrier team that doesn’t screw up.

Whether or not Howell is 100%, the Tar Heels should be able to run as much as they want to. They were stopped by the Pitt D last week, but they hit 220 yards in each of the previous four games and nailed Wake Forest for 330 on the ground.
Even with its style, Wofford doesn’t do much to control the clock thanks to a run defense that’s having a rough run.

The Wofford running game will be annoying enough to make this interesting into the second half. And then the floodgates will open.
North Carolina will get up big, the backups will come in, and it’ll be on to the NC State game on Friday.
