Top 20 UNC Football Teams: No. 17 - 1979
Posted Apr 30, 2020
Rarely does a team that finishes .500 in ACC play rank this highly, but that's the case with the 1979 Tar Heels. This was quite a talented group with Amos Lawrence and Doug Paschal carrying the load, a terrific offensive line, and Lawrence Taylor, Buddy Curry, Ricky Barden, Darrell Nicholson, Calvin Daniels and the unforgettable Steve Streater on defense.
