- UNC's Melkart Abou Jaoude is questionable, leaving Jaylen Harvey's alignment in play after he moved across the front during the absence. Harvey has seven pressures through two games. If he returns to attacking right tackle, Clemson's Collin Sadler is the projected matchup; Sadler has allowed one pressure and carries a 72.6 PFF pass-blocking grade. - Clemson's Will Heldt leads the Tigers with five pressures, two sacks and four tackles for loss, primarily attacking the offense's left side. UNC left tackle Jordan Hall has started both games and allowed one pressure in each, with a 59.9 PFF pass-blocking grade. The preview identifies this as Hall's strongest test so far, not a repeat of last year's protection result. - UNC has gained 98 rushing yards off left end at 8.9 per carry; Benjamin Hall accounts for 53 on five carries there. Hall leads UNC with 85 yards on 15 carries and a 78.4 PFF pass-blocking grade among its backs. Clemson's Heldt has a 58.2 run-defense grade, making that edge an area the preview sees as exploitable, not a guaranteed repeat of those rushing averages. - Clemson receiver TJ Moore leads the Tigers with 11 catches for 134 yards despite the offense's struggles. UNC's Jaiden Patterson has allowed four catches on six targets for 32 yards and forced one incompletion, with a 67.6 PFF coverage grade. The preview expects Patterson to handle Moore; that assignment is a projected matchup, not a confirmed every-snap shadow plan.
