The Citadel Game Guide
Posted Sep 4, 2009
Carolina will open the 2009 season on Saturday night at 6:00 PM against the Citadel, under brand new lights and a renovated Kenan Stadium. A win against the Citadel would give Carolina its third straight win in an opener, the longest such streak since the Tar Heels won six straight openers from 1989-94. Carolina's 8-5 record last season after a 4-8 2007 was the sixth-best turnaround in the nation. The Citadel went 4-8 last year.
