I'm picking the Heels to win in a shoot out.

UNC's offense is crazy good. My only worry is that it usually takes a game or two to start running on all cylinders.

Defense will have way more depth than last year. Still, Chubb will get his yards. UNC's hope against the run is to bend but don't break and limit the Dawgs to field goals.

Ya'll are placing way too much emphasis on the Baylor game. Baylor's OL was unbelievable and UNC had two interior lineman out with injuries on an already thin DL. Not making excuses but it helps explain the yardage.

I think Smart wins his first game with a conservative offense. UGA has more athletes and should be able to beat UNC on the fundamentals of the game.(defense, clock control run oriented offense, patience downfield, waiting for the match up you want.) I'll take the under on the game.

3 UNC starters on the D-line are still not practicing, they started prep for us arlier this week. Drennon (WDE) hasn't practiced at all, seems unlikley that he would play. Dalton (DT-3 technique) and Bart (SDE) are out too. Sounds like Bart is the most likely to play, but he and Dalton are both questionable at this point.

The replacement for Drennon, Tyler Powell, is probably a better run defender. He's not as dynamic off the edge, but he plays with better leverage (he's played a lot of DT).

Not sure who will/would replace Dalton. I'd assume Jeremiah Clarke (who's bigger but not nearly as quick) would take over at NT and Nazair Jones would slide down to 3-tech.
