Next up: TARHHELS

This week, Boston College prepares to travel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to take on Butch Davis and his 5-2 Tar Heels.

MUTUAL ADVERSITY
While BC is dealing with the disappointing loss of Brian Toal, UNC is attempting to bounce back from its overtime loss to the Virginia Cavaliers without several key players, including:

• Senior playmaker, Brandon Tate, who tore ligaments in his right knee in UNC's vicotry over Notre Damem and is out for the season;

• QB T.J. Yates who suffered a broken ankle in a 20-17 loss to Virginia Tech; and

• Fullback Anthony Elzy who fractured his shoulder in the loss to UVA.

After last week's loss, UNC Defensive End E.J. Wilson vowed that the Tar Heels will rebound this week against the visiting Eagles.

WTF REVISITED
BC's last regular season meeting with UNC was a 2005 "WTF" upset loss in which former coach Tom O'Brien waited too long to bring in Matt Ryan.
