Posted Aug 24, 2019
On September 3, 1988, Mack Brown made his debut as UNC coach. That day the Heels were tasked with taking on #19 South Carolina in Columbia. The Gamecocks were in the sixth year of coach Joe Morrison’s tenure, and coming off just the third 8+ win season in school history. The home team was the favorite, and quickly went up 10 points in the first quarter. (Tar Heel Blog)
