D-FENCE, That's really all I have to say and you won't need to know more, because this will be the best defense NC State sees all year. A defense out for revenge from a year ago when they lost 41-10 to this team. UNC has what I consider to be the best defense in the nation solid against the run and the pass, and a knack for forcing turnovers when DE Robert Quinn gets into the backfield. UNC posesses a better defense than South Carolina the team held NC State to 3 points in game 1, better than the Va Tech defense that held them to 10 points, and again better than the Clemson defense too. So why is this line less than a TD? It has been the Tar Heels inability to put up points that have them small favorites here today, but the offense should be able to run the ball here today in my opinion and if they stack the box to stop Houston Yates, should be able to spread things out and create some match up problems.
NC State is ranked 99th in scoring defense, while UNC is ranked 12th in scoring defense two ingredients that set up very nicely for the team with the dominant defense. UNC already beat VA Tech and Duke two teams that NC State lost to and got blown out of the building. I expect Kendric Burney to have a game changing play as he'll be all over the field and will strike fear in the eyes of Russell Wilson who will be confused all day long . Wilson has thrown a pick in each of his last seven games. Make it eight here on Saturday.
