The North Carolina Tar Heels have lost five straight to Clemson and have not won in Memorial Stadium since 2001.
After back-to-back losses, the Tigers have won two straight and are playing their best football of the season.
With expectations, oddsmakers, and history against them, winning this afternoon will be a herculean task for the Tar Heels.
Clemson holds a 39-19-1 series record over UNC. This is just the third game in the last 10 meetings that the Tar Heels have a better record than the Tigers.
A silver lining is that those previous two meetings ended with Carolina victories.
