The North Carolina Tar Heels face a must-win on Saturday against Mercer. The Heels must win out to qualify for a bowl and they cannot look ahead quite yet.
With that being said, Carolina is a 39-point favorite and should take care of business Saturday afternoon.
Therefore, the x-factor this week is not something schematic or particular player or position group matchups on the field, but rather the players who will be stepping on to the field in Kenan for the final time.
Myles Dorn will have his 31st career start against Mercer and will have appeared in every single game in his career in which he was healthy.
