State bragging rights on line as Wolfpack visit Tar Heels
By Sports Network
Published: Nov 19, 2008

ACC foes and state rivals will collide in Chapel Hill on Saturday, as the 25th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels take on the NC State Wolfpack.

The goal for NC State is simply, win the final two regular season games and earn bowl eligibility. The Wolfpack, who are 4-6 overall and 2-4 in conference, have won their last two outings to spark confidence among the players and fans. Last weekend, they showed a great deal of heart in a 21-17 triumph over Wake Forest.

As for North Carolina, it lost a crucial game at Maryland last weekend by a 17-15 final, and that setback halted a modest two-game win streak. The Heels had aspirations of winning the ACC title and appeared to be a front-runner to do so, but the loss to the Terps put the team on the outside of the title picture. UNC is 5-1 at home and figures to enter this rivalry game with plenty of confidence despite the recent disappointment.

North Carolina holds a commanding 63-28-6 series lead over NC State, but the Wolfpack won a thriller over the Heels last season by a 31-27 margin. More
