3. With the focus on Nate McCollum…

Through the first two weeks of the season, Kobe Paysour was the most consistent wide receiver for the UNC football program.

When Nate McCollum returned to full strength in week three, Paysour’s workload took a major hit.

Paysour recorded just one catch for a total of four yards in the victory over Minnesota, as McCollum took over as Maye’s top target.

With a lot of the focus most likely being on McCollum this week, it’s a perfect opportunity for Paysour to get back into the mix.

Expect a performance from Paysour as we saw over the first two weeks: seven to eight catches for anywhere from 65-75 yards receiving. Don’t be surprised if he ends up recording over 100 yards for the first time this season.
