Tar Heels test faith

Posted Sep 27, 2006

Hopes were higher in August, when the players and coaches talked about how together this team was and how much harder the players had worked throughout the off-season. Unfortunately, none of these hopes have come to fruition. UNC is 1-3, 0-2 in the ACC, and the Tar Heels have yet to look in any way like a good football team. The ugly truth is this club has appeared unprepared and weak in most areas of the game. (Chapel Hill News)
