NC State vs. North Carolina: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Saturday's NCAA Football game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the NC State vs. North Carolina football game
An ACC battle is on tap between the NC State Wolfpack and the North Carolina Tar Heels at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. NC State is limping into the game on a five-game losing streak.
NC State was close but no cigar last Thursday as they fell 28-26 to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. RB Zonovan Knight put forth a good effort for the losing side as he rushed for 100 yards and one TD on 18 carries.
UNC turned the game against the Mercer Bears into a track meet and took the gold after outgaining them 537 yards to 209. UNC put a hurting on Mercer to the tune of 56-7. RB Michael Carter had a dynamite game for the Tar Heels; he rushed for 159 yards and three TDs on nine carries. That nimble footwork stands out as the first time Carter has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season. Carter's sharp performance also set his single-game rushing touchdown high for the season.
The Wolfpack are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past five games.
North Carolina's victory lifted them to 5-6 while NC State's loss dropped them down to 4-7. We'll find out if the Tar Heels can add another positive mark to their record or if the Wolfpack can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of North Carolina's step.
