Tar Heels trudge on despite setbacks

Posted Oct 28, 2006

They've lost six games, and now they've found out that they'll lose their head coach at the end of the season. But North Carolina's football players still have incentive to keep playing hard in 2006. The Tar Heels have five games remaining, three of which come against the other members of the ACC's Big Four. UNC plays the first of its in-state conference opponents today when No. 24 Wake Forest visits Kenan Stadium. (Durham Herald-Sun)
