After starting the season with two wins on their home field, the Gophers take to the road for the first time this Saturday when they visit 20th-ranked North Carolina.

The 2-0 Tar Heels have wins against South Carolina and Appalachian State this season. North Carolina is coached by Mack Brown who won a National Championship at Texas in 2005.

North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye could be a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft if he opts to leave school early.

“He’s a great runner. He’s a great athlete. He’s very accurate, and he can do it all,” Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck said about Maye on Monday. “I’ve only studied him one night and a little bit in the offseason, but you talk about a really good player. They built the whole scheme around him.”

The Gophers and Tar Heels kickoff at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill.
