The North Carolina No.21 heads to Georgia Tech in a bid to get a different result than his first road game this season. The Tar Heels (2-1, 1-1 ACC) are just 5-6 on the road in coach Mack Brown’s three seasons in his second term at Chapel Hill, including their 17-10 loss to Virginia Tech in the season opener.
Saturday’s game has the potential to be a little different, as it will be played at the 71,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta instead of the Bobby Dodd Stadium campus. This will give more Carolina fans the chance to watch the game and equalize the Yellow Jackets home field advantage.
The match will pit two of the country’s top 10 units against each other in a one-on-one battle. The Tar Heels rank sixth nationally in total offense with an average of 553 yards per game. The Jackets (1-2, 0-1) are fifth in the country in passing yards per game, allowing just 124 yards per game.
Saturday’s UNC football game will be broadcast on the ACC network.
