The 2024 college football season opener between North Carolina and Minnesota has been delayed due to inclement weather in Minneapolis, with the kickoff pushed from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET. Lightning in the area has also affected NC State's game against Western Carolina, which has been delayed as well. Both teams are entering the game with new quarterbacks, as UNC will feature Max Johnson and Conner Harrell following the departure of star quarterback Drake Maye. Minnesota, looking to rebound from a disappointing season, will start New Hampshire transfer Max Brosmer. The game will be broadcast on FOX, with gates opening at 7:40 p.m. ET, and predictions suggest a competitive matchup with potential weather-related challenges.
