UNC's up-and-down football season ends with chance to be spoiler

Posted Nov 24, 2017
This season, the shoe is sort of on the other foot. Two years ago, the Wolfpack had the opportunity to knock the 10-1 Tar Heels down a peg as they headed into the ACC Championship Game. Carolina emerged the victors, 45-34. Last year, Carolina was 8-3 before closing out the season against NC State in Kenan, but the Wolfpack came away with a seven-point victory. (WRAL Sports Fan)
