"Having lost 10 straight road games dating back to last season, the Cardinal makes one last road trip this season to face the Tar Heels. Redshirt freshman Elijah Brown (47 of 79 passing for 492 yards, three TDs and three INTs in six games) makes his second collegiate start in place of Ben Gulbranson, whose 10 interceptions are the second-most of any FBS QB. No team in FBS has fewer rushing yards as a team since the start of Week 4 than Stanford (324)."
"The much-hyped arrival of Belichick resulted in losses in UNC's first five games against Power 4 opponents, including blowouts against TCU, UCF and Clemson. But the Tar Heels have been better lately, losing by 3 at Cal, by 1 in overtime against Virginia, and then finally getting their first ACC win by outscoring Syracuse 21-0 in the second half last week to win 27-10. Freshman RB Demon June had a breakout game against the Orange, totaling 182 all-purpose yards."
Stanford enters with a 3-6 record and a 10-game road losing streak, traveling to Chapel Hill where redshirt freshman Elijah Brown starts in place of Ben Gulbranson. Brown has completed 47 of 79 passes for 492 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in six games. Stanford has the fewest team rushing yards in FBS since Week 4 (324) and ranks among the ACC's worst offenses in points and yards. North Carolina, 3-5, showed recent improvement under Bill Belichick with three close losses and a 27-10 win over Syracuse, powered by freshman Demon June's 182 all-purpose yards. UNC's Melkart Abou Jaoude leads the ACC with seven sacks.
