Gio Lopez Questionable, May Be Out vs Clemson

North Carolina quarterback Gio Lopez is listed as questionable for the ACC opener against Clemson after suffering a right-leg injury three weeks ago, though some reports say he has been ruled out. If Lopez cannot play, backup Max Johnson is expected to start. The Tar Heels, currently 2-2, have struggled offensively and rank near the bottom of the ACC in total yards. UNC coach Mack Brown said Lopez’s availability will be evaluated closer to kickoff. The Clemson game is being framed as a must-solve test for a North Carolina team seeking consistency.
