No. 3: A high-scoring game, but…

Based on what we’ve seen from the UNC football program’s defense of late, you’d have to expect that this game will be another high-scoring affair.

Clemson’s offense has started to click as of late, while North Carolina is a scoring threat any time Drake Maye has the ball.

Both teams will score more than 30 points, but neither side will surpass the 40-point mark.

If you think about it from North Carolina’s perspective, this would be great, considering they’ve allowed 40+ points in each of their last two ACC contests.

Since fully getting ACC play going, Clemson has only scored more than 40+ points once, and that came last weekend against Georgia Tech.

Yes, expect a good amount of scoring, but don’t expect it to be an overly high-scoring affair in Death Valley.
