Florida State returns to action on Saturday afternoon against the North Carolina Tar Heels at Doak Campbell Stadium. With the Seminoles sitting at 1-7 and no longer in contention for a bowl game, the final four games will be about playing for pride and the future. The Tar Heels, on the other hand, are still fighting for postseason experience and have a chance to snap head coach Mack Brown’s (0-11) long losing streak against FSU.
North Carolina enters this game at 4-4 overall after the team ended a four-game skid with a dominating win against Virginia last weekend. In the win, the Tar Heels racked up ten sacks on defense while running back Omarion Hampton passed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground. UNC has scored 30+ points in five of its eight games, but is allowing 28.4 points per contest.
