UNC amassed more than 500 yards of total offense en route to
a 48-21 rout of rival NC State on Saturday afternoon.
Postgame Notes
UNC is now 68-36-6 all-time against NC State and has won
back-to-back games against the Wolfpack for the first time since winning in
2012 and 2013.
UNC is 3-0 against NC State when both teams are ranked in
the AP poll (also wins in 1979 and 1993). Today, UNC was No. 14 and NC State
No. 23.
UNC rushed for 326 yards and passed for 252. NC State passed
for 358, but the Tar Heel defense allowed only 34 rushing yards.
Ben Finley made Wolfpack his debut coming in in the second
quarter.
The Wolfpack's 358 yards passing were the most for a Pack
team since the 2018 regular-season finale against East Carolina (421).
