Looking at the schedule several weeks back, it felt like this game would have more meaning. Clemson, of course, has not been Clemson this season, but Carolina’s two losses to Virginia and Georgia Tech have really put a damper on the stakes of this season.
It would be nice to beat Clemson in any year, though, especially on the road. The Tar Heels still have something to play for, so every win matters. That becomes especially true with the Miami and Louisville game close in the final minutes of the fourth quarter of that game at the time of writing this.
