North Carolina Tar Heels vs. East Carolina Pirates Prediction and Preview

Posted Sep 6, 2018
The North Carolina defense stifled the Cal passing attack and if East Carolina again struggles running the ball, the Pirates will have trouble putting points on the board. The Tar Heels don’t have an explosive offense, but Nathan Elliott will value the ball more and get it in the hands of his true playmaker, Anthony Ratliff-Williams. Prediction: North Carolina 34, East Carolina 13 (Athlon Sports)
