Carolina And NC State Tangle Saturday In Kenan
November 23, 2018 | Football
Carolina concludes its 2018 campaign Saturday when the Tar Heels host long-time Triangle rival NC State at 12:20 p.m. at Kenan Stadium.
UNC is 2-8 on the year after a 49-26 win over Western Carolina on Saturday. In the most extensive action of his young career, true freshman TB Javonte Williams rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns to lead a balanced offensive attack. QB Nathan Elliott threw for 308 yards and two scores as the Tar Heels gained a season-high 654 yards of offense in the victory. Defensively, Carolina tallied a season-best 12 tackles for loss and four sacks.
NCSU is 7-3 on the year and 4-3 in ACC play after a 52-10 win at Louisville on Saturday. QB Ryan Finley tossed four touchdown passes in the blowout victory.
Saturday's game will be broadcast on Raycom Sports and locally on WRAL.

CAROLINA-NC STATE SERIES NOTES
• North Carolina leads the series with NC State, 66-35-6.
• This has been a back-and-forth rivalry in recent seasons, with the road team capturing four of the last five meetings. Carolina has won three of six games under Larry Fedora - the 2012 contest in Chapel Hill that was decided by Giovani Bernard's late punt return touchdown and a pair of impressive victories in Raleigh.
• The Carolina-NC State series is the fourth-most-played in ACC history. Carolina is part of four of the five most-played series in ACC history.
• The team that has held the rushing advantage has won 23 of the last 26 meetings. The lone exceptions came in 2004 when Carolina won 30-24, but was outgained on the ground, 304-164; in 2009 when Carolina had 159 rushing yards to NC State's 76 in a 28-27 Wolfpack victory; and in 2013 when State held a 212-152 advantage in rushing but the Tar Heels were 27-19 winners. Last season, the Wolfpack outrushed the Tar Heels 292-83.
• Saturday will mark the fourth straight year in which the UNC-NC State game is played on the final weekend of the regular season.
