The North Carolina Tar Heels visit Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday to play the Georgia State Panthers. North Carolina is 2-0 following its 63-61 victory over Appalachian State on Saturday. North Carolina gained 567 yards of total offense but gave up far too much on defense as the Mountaineers gained 649 yards of total offense against the Tar Heels defense.

Drake Maye has passed for 646 yards with nine touchdowns. The leading rusher is Maye with 131 yards and one touchdown, while Omarion Hampton has rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns.

Quarterback Darren Grainger has passed for 111 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Georgia State. Jamyest Williams is the leading rusher for Georgia State with 76 yards, while the leading receiver is Jamari Thrash with 70 yards. Jordan Veneziale is the leading tackler with eight and two players have 1.0 quarterback sacks each.

Georgia State played well against South Carolina in a game that would have been much closer if not for two blocked punts that were returned for touchdowns by the Gamecocks. Georgia State’s offense is not the strongest but faces a very weak North Carolina defense. Look for plenty of scoring on both sides as the Tar Heels have an impressive offense and therefore the play here is OVER. Final Score Prediction, North Carolina Tar Heels win but our best play is OVER 49-28
