Omarion Hampton and North Carolina will take the field against Thomas Castellanos and Boston College on Saturday.
North Carolina will travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, in Week 13 of the college football season. In Massachusetts, they will face off with another ACC opponent, Boston College, on their home field at Alumni Stadium. The Tar Heels head into this week with a 6-4 record, having won their last three games against conference teams to bring themselves to a 3-3 record in the ACC and enough wins to be bowl-eligible. Their three-game winning streak comes after a four-game losing streak that included three of the four as conference games.
They lost to Duke, Pitt, and Georgia Tech before their first bye week and followed it up with wins on the road at Virginia and Florida State before another bye week. Last week, they came back to Kenan Stadium and beat Wake Forest. All-American running back Omarion Hampton has stolen the show in Chapel Hill. He has 1,422 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground this season, with another 281 yards and another score in the air.
The Eagles head into this week with an even record overall at 5-5 and a losing record against conference teams at 2-4. They are tied with Wake Forest and NC State in front of just Stanford, Cal, and Florida State. Their two conference wins this season came against Syracuse and Florida State. The once-ranked No. 24 team in the country has lost its four of its final five games.
Boston College is led by junior quarterback Thomas Castellanos. He has thrown for 1,366 yards and 18 touchdowns with one five interceptions. His best target has been Lewis Bond, who leads the team with 464 yards on 46 receptions with three touchdowns. The ground work is handled by Kye Robichaux, who has 561 yards and eight scores on 121 carries.
