FIFTY-FOUR f
Homecoming 2007
Tar Heels’ run will be key
to Homecoming matchup
Game and Time: Maryland at
North Carolina. Kickoff is at 3:45
p.m. Saturday.
Site: Kenan Stadium
TV/Radio: The game will be tele
vised regionally by ESPNU. Radio
coverage will be provided by WCHL
1360 AM, WRDU 106.1 FM.
Records: Maryland is 4-4. North
Carolina is 2-6.
Series: North Carolina leads the
all-time series 67-34-2. The teams
last met in 2005, when Maryland
won 33-30 in overtime at Kenan.
The key matchup: North
Carolina’s running backs against
Maryland’s run defense.
Only conference bottom-feed
ers Duke and N.C. State give up
more rushing yards per game than
Maryland (165.1). While North
Carolina is by no means an elite
rushing team, they certainly will
try to take advantage of that.
Maryland linebacker Erin
Henderson leads the ACC in tack
les with 12.3 per game, and his
fellow LB Dave Philistin is not far
behind either. While they are two
exceptional linebackers, they get
a lot of work when running backs
break through the defensive line.
A big, bruising back could wear
down the Maryland defense and
control the dock someone like the
i
if TJ i^ll
umffle sltoppf Jm
Sailg ®ar UpH
245-pound Ryan Houston. If UNC
can control the clock and keep the
defense off the field, it has a serious
chance at bringing in the win.
Final Analysis/Prediction: It
needs to be said that UNC has not
beaten the Terrapins since 1998. It’s
atrend that should change Saturday.
The Terps are by no means an ACC
powerhouse, and UNC has had too
many games go against them this
season the time has come for
some breaks to go their way.
The Tar Heel running game
should pound away at the Maryland
defense as Butch Davis attempts to
instill balance in UNC’s attack. The
Tar Heels must succeed in control
ling the ball, something they are
becoming more competent in (bar
ring last week’s debade in Winston-
Salem) as the season progresses.
But if UNC can’t grt its running
attack started, Maryland will score
on a defense that can’t seem to get
off the field when it needs to.
But the Terps are statistically
similar to UNC, and when the two
teams meet, home-field advantage
has to carry the day.
The Bottom Line: North
Carolina 24, Maryland 17.
