What is the list of injured for UNC. I notice Duke ruined one of their DL's knees for us.

CPJ said on the coach's show that UNC had a lead in every game in the 4th quarter.

Sounds like somewhere between 19-22 from this link https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-at-unc-ahead-of-georgia-tech-trip/105987094/:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina's injury list keeps growing.

Senior receiver Austin Proehl, senior defensive tackle Tyler Powell and redshirt freshman receiver Rontavius Groves were hurt during Saturday's loss to Duke.

Proehl had his left arm was in a sling on the sideline. Powell crumpled to the turf grabbing his right knee before being helped to the sideline. And Groves' right leg gave out as he turned for a pass in his college debut, prompting trainers to immediately put his knee in a brace and cart him away.

None appear on the depth chart for this weekend's trip to Georgia Tech.

Nine of 19 players on UNC's pre-Duke injury report are lost for the season. Asked Monday whether UNC has more season-ending injuries, coach Larry Fedora said: "I don't know yet."

Some of the lost for the season:


Starting middle linebacker Andre Smith suffered a season-ending knee injury in UNC’s second game against Louisville.
Senior defensive end Tyler Powell played in UNC’s fourth game of the season this past Saturday against Duke, but if his undisclosed injury is determined to be season-ending, he will also be eligible for a hardship waiver because he sat out the first two games due to suspension.
Senior wide receiver Austin Proehl, who broke his clavicle in the loss to Duke, does not meet the requirements for receiving a hardship waiver
Sophomore tackle William Sweet, who is out for the season with an ACL injury, and freshman wide receiver Toe Groves, who is expected to be lost for the season due to an injury suffered on Saturday

MLB is the worst to lose against us, unless you have a stud DL like Adrian Clayborn. Look what we did against Tennessee's backup MLB

Clemson's QB is no Taj Boyd. Our blocking is better. We have been running the option fast. Cut down on turn overs and we are a force.
Were just talking about this on 680. Claimed we wouldn't beat Clemson without 4 turnovers or so

I remember when turnovers were part of a football game and not a disruptive asterisk.
Considering our offense cuts down a lot on overall possessions, (if we have a good TOP) then you could say it matters greatly.

It does. I meant that I've heard/seen people refer to turnovers as something that almost lessens a win, discounting forced turnovers and such.

ahhh agreed. Our defense has played seemingly well thus far without having generated many turnovers except Jacksonville state. I think we are -4 right now

Maybe we can flip the same switch as in the second half of 2014 re: turnover margin. I think that's built into the "simplified" Roof defense, got left out of the default though.

Not concerned.

I heard an interview with their play by play guy on 680 today and he was very concerned about the injuries on their offense and their offense had taken a significant step back from previous years.

Apparently UNC has lost the following on offense from last year to eligibility or NFL:

1. QB
2. 4 out of 5 OL
3. 2 starting WRs
4. 3 RBs

To pile on, they have lost 3 OL to injury this year and 2 WRs where their depth is paper thin already.

He also said he doesnt see our previous two games offensive numbers happening this year because GTs defense is mich better in all phases based on what he has seen so far. Our run D is much improved and we are getting pressure.

I like GT by a lot in this game. UNC is about like us in 2015 with the losses to both eligibility and injury.
