No. 4: Tyler Van Dyke makes at least one mistake

Throughout his Hurricanes’ career, quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has done a great job of being smart with the football.

Even coming off a three-interception day against Georgia Tech, the veteran gunslinger has thrown just 15 interceptions in 714 career passing attempts.

Although he is great at protecting the football, the UNC football program’s defense is going to force at least one interception on the day.

The Tar Heels defense has at least one interception in each of its last four contests and is currently holding a three-game streak where they’ve intercepted the opposing quarterback twice. North Carolina’s defensive front will find a way to get pressure on Van Dyke, which in turn will result in at least one interception.
