UNC vs. Western Carolina - Player of the Game: Javonte Williams

On the offensive side of things, things went about as well as you would have expected for UNC against Western Carolina. They scored 49 points and racked up 654 total yards of offense. A couple drives stalled out and ended in missed field goals, preventing the point total from being larger. Overall, the offense did fine against the FCS opposition.

The defense did not, but we’re just going to ignore that in this post.

The breakdown in usage on the offensive side of things also went about as you would expect considering next week’s opponent. Nominal starter Nathan Elliott was taken out for the last couple drives in favor of Manny Miles, who had actually thrown a Hail Mary touchdown pass in the first half.
