UNC’s Offensive Grades Revealed After Win Over Syracuse

With that being said, here is how PFF graded the performance of North Carolina's offense in its win over Syracuse.

Here's an explanation of how PFF's grading works: 

On every play, a PFF analyst will grade each player on a scale of -2 to +2, ranging from a pick-six to a late touchdown pass, with expected plays graded as a 0. Each game is graded by two different analysts and any discrepancies are settled by a senior analyst. Grades are then normalized to account for game situation and converted to a 0-100 scale.

Overall Offensive PFF Grades

• Offense: 78.6
• Pass : 70.2
• Pass Block: 84.0
• Receiving: 68.4
• Run: 71.2
• Run Block: 72.7

Aside from the fumble that led to a scoop-and-score North Carolina played its most complete offensive game of the season. The Tar Heels piled up a season-high 425 yards, surpassing 400 yards for the first time this year.

Gio Lopez turned in his best performance of the season, connecting on 15 of 19 passes (78.9 percent) for 216 yards and two touchdowns. Lopez also rushed six times for 33 yards and completed four passes of 15 yards or more, including:

• a 44-yard strike to Kobe Paysour
• a 19-yard completion to Jordan Shipp
• a 72-yard touchdown pass to Demon June
• a 21-yard touchdown to Shipp

Kobe Paysour finished with three catches for 59 yards, while Jordan Shipp added six receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown.

North Carolina rushed for a season-high 209 yards, led by Demon June’s 13 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown and Davion Gause’s 15 carries for 57 yards.

June, a true freshman, proved to be the Tar Heels’ biggest difference-maker Friday night, recording 101 rushing yards and a score on 13 attempts, to go with two catches for 81 yards and another touchdown.

It marked June’s second 100-yard rushing effort this season. His first came in a 41-6 win over Richmond on Sept. 13, when he ran for 148 yards and a touchdown.
