stinger) are questionable.
N.C. State No injuries reported.
North Carolina Offense: This truly is
not the week to be banged up on the offen
sive line.
The battered and bruised Tar Heels will
match up against one of the nation’s pre
mier defenses when theyplaytheWolfpack.
At least seven play ers who see regular duty
on the Tar Heel offense have bumps and
bruises. Most of those players are offensive
linemen or fullbacks.
That’s bad news for quarterback Jason
Stanicek and tailbacks Curtis and Leon
Johnson.
Stanicek, who is coming off one of his
worst games in a Tar Heel uniform, will
have to rebound quickly.
The Park Forest, El., native was 7 for 16
with two interceptions last weekend at
Virginia.
But Stanicek has had some of his best
games at UNC against the Wolfpack. In
UNC’s 27-20 loss in 1992, he threw for 237
yards and was 26-for-35 passing. Last year,
Stanicek took the field with bruised ribs
and completed a 12-for-17 day.
Leon Johnson was the most prolific Tar
Heel out ofthebackfieldatUVa. Herushed
for 43 yards and caught six passes for 83
yards.
Curt’s Johnson had a big game last year
againstN.C. State. He rushed for 153 yards
and broke the game open early in the third
quarter with a 50-yard touchdown stam
pede up the middle.
N.C. State offense: Eddie Goines will
probably touch the ball a lot Saturday.
Just like Stanicek, Goines saves his best
days for this rivalry. In 1992, he caught
nine Terry Jordan passes for 163 yards.
This season, Goines is averaging 17.4
yards on his 28 total catches.
On the ground, junior tailback Brian
Fitzgerald enters the game listed as N.C.
State’s No. 1 running back. Fitzgerald has
rushed for 386 yards this season.
However, redshirt freshman Tremayne
SPORTS
Stephens rushed for 189 yards two weeks
ago against Wake Forest.
North Carolina Defense: The UNC
“bend, but don’t break" defense has played
well.
On the season, the Tar Heels have sur
rendered big chunks of yardage but often
have recovered inside the 20.
But against Virginia, that wasn’t the
case. The Tar Heels gave up 34 points and
425 total yards.
UNC’s defense was on the field about
seven minutes more than its offense vs.
UVa. thanks in part to turnovers and
three-and-out possessions by the offense.
Thus, the key to UNC’s defense maybe
the time of possession.
Along the front, Marcus Jones contin
ues to play “lights out” football. The Out
land Trophy candidate recorded a team
high seven tackles last weekend.
Despite being slowed with tom knee
ligaments, Mike Morton leads the team in
tackles. He recorded seven last weekend
and also broke up a pass.
Linebacker Kerry Mock was limited
earlier in the week. He dislocated his el
bow in the Maryland game.
Offsetting Goines may be a task. The
UNC coaching staff has contemplated a
variety of schemes to throw at the Wolfpack

“If we’re deep in man coverage, but we
want to double-cover Eddie Goines, you
don’t have enough people,” said UNC
head coach Mack Brown Wednesday in
the Pit. “We have to try to figure out a way
to get some pressure and not give up the big
play.”
N.C. State Defense: The Wolfpack
ranks fourth in the nation in total defense.
Senior defensive tackle Carl Reeves has
been the center of the Wolfpack defense.
Reeves, a former UNC fan, guaranteed
a N.C. State win this weekend.
“I won’t predict a score,” Reeves said.
“I’ll just guarantee a win. ”
So is Reeves confident or cocky?
Well, he only needs four more sacks to
break the NCSU school record.
Inside linebacker Damien Covington
leads the team in tackles with 73.
Tidbits: This game marks the 100th
anniversary of the teams’ first meeting. In
1894, the North Carolina won 44-0 ...
UNC is 23-14-1 against the Wolfpack at
Kenan Stadium... Only 10 points separate
the two teams over the last two meetings in
Chapel Hill. In 1990, UNC lost 12-9 on a
last-second, 56-yard field goal by Damon
Hartman and it lost 27-20 in 1992... UNC
has outscored the Wolfpack over the series
(Uljp laily (Far Heel
1,544-897 ... The 1992 game set an atten
dance record at Kenan Stadium. The mark
0f53,725 stood until the 1993UNC-Florida
State matchup.
Final analysis/prediction: North Caro
lina is a better team than N.C. State. It has
more talent and matches up very well
against the Wolfpack.
But this week UNC will play hurt. Al
most every offensive lineman and line
backer have some type of injury.
UNC even altered practice a bit this
week to accommodate for the injuries.
“We will be in shoulder pads and shorts
this week,” Brown said at his Tuesday
press conference. “We cannot practice in
gear because we cannot afford to get a
linebacker hurt and we cannot afford to get
one of our offensive lineman hurt.”
The rivalry alone will pro vide the adrena
line for some Tar Heel players to forget
about nagging injuries.
However, they will remain a step slow.
Wolfpack quarterbacks will find Goines
deep a couple of times, and the N.C. State
defensive front will keep the Tar Heel rush
ing attack in check.
Facts triumph over heart this weekend.
Make it five in a row in Chapel Hill.
N.C. State 24, North Carolina 20.
