If North Carolina is going to ruin BC's home winning streak, they're off to a good start with a 21-0 lead, thanks to a 20-yard fumble return for a touchdown and an interception return for a touchdown. BC quarterback Dave Shinskie is really struggling, just as he did a week ago at Virginia.
Last year, after UNC realized it had qualified for a bowl, the Tar Heels seemed to relax a little bit and get comfortable. Early in the game in Chestnut Hill, it looks like they learned a lesson. BC has four yards of total offense so far. The Tar Heels' defense will be the difference in this game -- especially if it continues to make game-changing plays -- but BC won't give up at home. Not with the Atlantic Division still on the line. It's still early, but that's the problem -- UNC's defense has done a lot of damage to the Eagles in only 10 minutes.
P.S. Dabo Swinney said there won't be any games on in the locker room prior to Clemson's kickoff against Virginia, but Swinney said his players will probably hear about what's going on in Chestnut Hill. They can't let that affect them.
