Head-to-Head: UNC- N.C. State

Posted Nov 9, 2007

In any game between two evenly-matched opponents like UNC and N. C. State, special teams play a crucial role in determining the outcome. Oddly enough, these two units are eerily similar – both programs possess a Lou Groza Award candidate (UNC's Connor Barth and NCSU's Steven Hauschka), a dangerous return man (UNC's Brandon Tate, NCSU's Darrell Blackman) and sketchy kickoff coverage units.
