Idaho may have barely lost a thriller last week, 40-37 to Wyoming, but they've still lost seven in a row dating back to 2011 and are 0-4 to begin their 2012 campaign.
Things will only get tougher for the Vandals when they travel to Chapel Hill and Kenan Memorial Stadium to take on North Carolina in a non-conference game that represents the first-ever matchup between the two schools.
The Tar Heels are 2-2 after beating rival East Carolina 27-6 last week, but after this one they get into the meat of their ACC schedule in earnest. And though North Carolina isn't poised to make a run at a national championship, they do carry some talent of national interest, so there are plenty of reasons to tune into this one.
Coverage on NESNplus begins at 3:30 p.m. ET.
