Preview & Prediction: UNC at East Carolina Posted Sep 19, 2014 UNC's best hope in this game might be simply keeping pace and then bank on a couple of turnovers or perhaps a strong stand or two by the defense. There shouldn't be any question about motivation. UNC returns most of the roster who watched ECU roll roughshod over the Tar Heels in Kenan Stadium last season. This is a tough chore.
