UNC Football vs. NC State live updates: Scores, highlights

The North Carolina Tar Heels football team will play its final game under head coach Mack Brown on Saturday (3:30 p.m., ACC Network) at Kenan Stadium against the NC State Wolfpack in Week 14 of the college football season.

The Tar Heels will look to avoid four straight losses to NC State and send Brown out on the right note. The Wolfpack, who will try to end Brown’s career with a loss, need a win to get bowled for the fifth straight season.

The Wolfpack (5-6, 2-5) has won seven of the last 10 meetings against the Tar Heels (6-5, 3-4 ACC), including three of the last four meetings in Chapel Hill. Prior to NC State’s 39-20 win in Raleigh last season, the previous two meetings were one-point games.

With it being Brown’s final game, here are ten candidates to replace the longtime head coach in Chapel Hill, with some options more realistic than others.

As for the game itself, UNC running back Omarion Hampton needs 25 rushing yards to become the fourth ACC player in the last 20 years to reach 1,500 rushing yards in consecutive seasons. NC State quarterback CJ Bailey, who guaranteed a win against the Tar Heels after the Wolfpack’s loss at Georgia Tech, rushed for 2,142 yards and 17 touchdowns in his first season with the Pack.
