ACC upset watch: Week 3 |
From Heather Dinich of ESPN:
2. UNC at No. 19 Louisville: If running back Giovani Bernard is healthy and back in the lineup, and the Tar Heels’ defense plays better than it did against Wake Forest, North Carolina can pull off this upset. UNC will have to be ready for Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who completed 30 of 39 passes for a career-high 344 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-7 win over Missouri State. Against Wake Forest this past weekend, UNC allowed quarterback Tanner Price to throw for a career-high 327 yards and couldn’t make a stop on the Deacs’ 93-yard, game-winning scoring drive.
1. Wake Forest at No. 6 Florida State: The Seminoles have home-field advantage, but the Deacs have the schedule advantage because they’ve been tested already against FBS competition and are confident from a league win over UNC. FSU looks good on paper with a padded stat sheet after two routs of FCS opponents, but it has struggled with Wake Forest in the past. Wake Forest won, 35-30, last year, and has won four of the past six games in the series.
