With Drake Maye now playing for the NFL’s New England Patriots, both Max Johnson and Conner Harrell are in line to be the Tar Heels’ starting quarterback in the opener. Despite losing Maye, UNC returns several starters, including running back Omarion Hampton and pass rusher Kaimon Rucker.

UNC vs Minnesota Predictions

UNC 24, Minnesota 20: The Tar Heels’ history in non-conference openers is troubling, but the Golden Gophers aren’t world-class. In a game that will likely be decided late, I’m going with the best player on the field — UNC running back Omarion Hampton — to make the difference. Hampton, who had 46 rushing yards against Minnesota in 2023, will help the Heels pull out a win.
