Clemson players to watch
1. Receiver Justyn Ross should be motivated to get going after missing last week’s game against Charlotte with an injury. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said this week that Ross looked “noticeably different” at practice now that he is healthy.
2. North Carolina has already allowed 16 sacks this season (four per game), which is good news for Tigers star defensive end Xavier Thomas.
3. Don’t be surprised if Travis Etienne runs wild after having relatively slow weeks the past few weeks, finishing with 76 rushing yards or less the past three games.
UNC players to watch
1. Quarterback Sam Howell is only a freshman but he has been impressive through the first four games of his career. Howell led the Tar Heels to a come-from-behind win against South Carolina in UNC’s opener and followed that up with another come-from-behind-victory against Miami. He has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,024 yards, with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.
2. Sophomore receiver Dyami Brown leads the Tar Heels with 284 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Brown is averaging nearly 19 yards per reception, which is also tops on the team.
3. Safety Myles Wolfolk is questionable for the game, but assuming he plays he could give Clemson’s passing game some problems. Wolfolk already has three interceptions this season and is fourth on the team in tackles with 24.
