Carolina has won both games with BC since the Eagles joined the ACC in 2005 ... The Eagles' last win in the series came in the 2004 Meineke Car Care Bowl, where BC scored a 37-23 victory at Charlotte...

Yates finished 17-for-31 for 213 yards against Miami, his third 200-yard passing game this year.
