Best: North Carolina @ Louisville….. UNC is smarting from their 28-27 lost last week to Wake Forest. Per usual… the Tar Heels have speedy talent, very good skill, and are well coached … also … per usual… the Heels have a knack to do the inexplicable. I know the game was in Winston-Salem…I know WF is an in-state rival … and I know Jim Grobe (Wake’s coach) may be …or is… the best kept secret re: outstanding coaches in America college football. That said…still …. UNC loss remains a mystery! Meanwhile… Charlie Strong’s Cardinals are rolling along at 2-0. The home team in this series is 3-1… UNC won last year 14-7 …@ home. This is the only meeting of these teams in the past five years. This should be a highly entertaining game with speed and lots of it…all over and on both sides of the field!
Worst: North Carolina Central @ Duke, these teams have played only once… in 2009, when the Blue Devils pounded the Eagles, 49-14, in Durham. It should be noted that NC Central is also located in Durham… so not only is this an in-state battle it is also an inter-city struggle. Duke has not played well in road openers going 3-14 and just 3-3 against FCS opponents (all three losses to Richmond) since 2006. NC Central is 0-3 in games against FBS teams and was punished last year by Rutgers 48-0. This game is an everything to lose and nothing to gain scenario for Duke… and given their history… a dangerous venture!
