Preview: North Carolina at Wake Forest

Posted Oct 27, 2007

After losing its first two games, Wake (5-2) has reeled off five straight victories, including an overtime squeaker against Maryland and an upset against No. 21 Florida State. UNC, meanwhile, used last weekend's open date to heal some key injuries -- including WR Hakeem Nicks's ankle and WR Brandon Tate's head -- and refocus after losing several squeakers of their own, the last a 21-15 heartbreaker against No. 7 South Carolina.
