UNC has forced 14 turnovers during its current four-game winning streak, and turnover margin will be key again today -- just as it was a year ago. UNC lost the ball six times in the 2008 game, as N.C. State rolled to a 41-10 win in Chapel Hill.
CONTAIN WILSON
N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson had a career day against the Tar Heels a year ago and currently is second in the ACC in total offense (276.7 ypg).
BLOCK OUT NOISE
UNC has a 3-1 record on the road this season, but Carter-Finley Stadium will be one of the most raucous places they've played. The Wolfpack and its fans would love nothing more than to spoil the end of the Tar Heels' season.
