The North Carolina Tar Heels will hit the road to take on Georgia State this weekend as the Tar Heels hope to move to 3-0 on the early season. It’s the second-straight road game for the Tar Heels early on and another chance to hopefully fix their defense and get things straight.
After their 63-61 nail-biting win against Appalachian State, UNC is favored by 7.5 on the road as this won’t be an easy task as some may think.
North Carolina’s passing attack is their most vital weapon heading into this game, with quarterback [autotag]Drake Maye[/autotag] already having nine passing touchdowns through two games.
This game is UNC’s second time playing the Panthers, beating them last season 59-17 at home. The player to stop on Georgia State is sixth-year running back James Williams.
Williams uses his experience and speed to burst through holes, finishing with 76-yards on 13 carries last weekend. Georgia State barely moved the ball in the air with only 29 passing attempts compared to their 40 rushings tries. An aggressive attack against the run should limit the Panther’s offense in a significant way, giving UNC a decent margin of victory.
