KEY MATCHUPNorth Carolina quarterback Conner Harrell vs. West Virginia’s 69th ranked defense: Harrell gets his first career college start in place of the highly regarded Maye. He is faster than Maye, so expect to see more QB runs from the Tar Heels. But it will be tough for Harrell to match Maye’s accuracy and arm strength. Also, Harrell will be without the team’s primary wide receiver in Tez Walker, who amassed 41 catches for 699 yards and seven TDs after missing several games while being declared ineligible by the NCAA.

But without Elijah Green and George Pettway, depth could very well be an issue, though neither played a large role this year. The real question on offense for North Carolina is set to be whether or not Drake Maye will suit up. Maye is set to miss the game, but questions remain.

WVU will be without four receivers but fewer than six total receptions and less production. It’s the defensive side of the ball and the status of some top-tier draft prospects that are the bigger questions for WVU. If center Zach Frazier is in the action, be mindful of him opening some big gains for West Virginia. The depth of the Mountaineers on defense will be tested without some of their losses here.
