North Carolina has been rolling over their last two ACC games. Ever since the loss to Louisville on the road, they went on the road to Indiana, beating Notre Dame by one point providing a huge spark to their win against SMU.

With a game against the NC State Wolfpack on the horizon for the North Carolina Tar Heels, freshman Ian Jackson is preparing to get his first taste of the rivalry. That is, if the game between in-state ACC foes is a rivalry game at all.

North Carolina’s start to the season has been nothing short of a disappointment. Hubert Davis has struggled to lead this team to big wins. They’ve even struggled to beat lesser opponents, including a home win against a poor Georgia Tech team by only three points.
