North Carolina took down Charlotte at Kenan Stadium in Week 2 of the college football season for the team’s second win of the year. It was a dominant game led by a new starting quarterback in Conner Harrell.
Headlined not by the win but by injuries to Kaimon Rucker and Omarion Hampton, UNC football is going to need some new names to step up over the course of the season. The first one to do it was Davion Gause.
He finished the game with over 100 yards rushing and a touchdown in just over two-quarters of action since Hampton went down.
As a result of the team’s win, their bowl projection for the end of the year has shifted again says Erick Smith of USA Today.

In his newly released projections, Smith has North Carolina taking on Washington in the Sun Bowl on December 31st. In his last rendition of the bowl projections, Smith didn’t include North Carolina in any of his bowl games.
There is a long season to go, and hopefully, we continue to see the Heels climb in the rankings and win the ACC earning a birth in the College Football Playoffs.
