It's the final opponent preview for the 2023 NC State football season! And of course that means we are taking an in-depth look at where things stand for UNC this offseason, so Cory is joined by none other than former UNC beat writer Ross Martin.

We take a look at each position group for the Tar Heels, strengths and weaknesses for the program and the importance of the game for both teams in the rivalry. We also discuss where things stand for Mack Brown heading into another critical year with an NFL-caliber quarterback in Drake Maye.
