The Tar Heels have been on a roll lately, winning their previous three games. One of the key players leading their success is quarterback Sam Howell. In the last three games, Howell has thrown for an impressive 649 yards with a completion percentage of 60.9%. He has also thrown for 6 touchdowns and has yet to throw an interception. Howell's ability to make accurate passes and find open receivers has been crucial in the Tar Heels' offensive success.


Another standout player for the Tar Heels is wide receiver Dyami Brown. Brown has been a reliable target for Howell, recording 4 receptions for 126 yards and 2 touchdowns in the last three games. His speed and agility make him a threat to any defense, and he will likely play a significant role in this upcoming game.


On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Chazz Surratt has been exceptional for the Tar Heels. In the last three games, Surratt has recorded 7 tackles, 2 assists, and 1 sack. His ability to read plays and disrupt opposing offenses will be crucial in containing Georgia Tech's offense.


While North Carolina Tar Heels have some standout players, they cannot underestimate the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Running back Jordan Mason has been a force to be reckoned with, rushing for 177 yards and scoring 3 touchdowns in their previous three games. Quarterback James Graham has also shown promise with his passing ability, throwing for 156 yards and 1 touchdown.


Both teams have shown their strengths in the previous games, and this upcoming matchup promises to be an exciting one. The Tar Heels will look to continue their winning streak and rely on the exceptional performances of players like Sam Howell, Dyami Brown, and Chazz Surratt. However, they must be prepared for a tough challenge from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, led by Jordan Mason and James Graham.


Fans can catch all the action of this highly anticipated game on the ACC Network. It will be a battle of skill, strategy, and determination as both teams fight for victory on the football field.
