Top 20 UNC Football Teams: No. 17 - 1963
Posted May 1, 2020
UNC won the ACC title in 1963 and cruised to an impressive bowl victory. With eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer Chris Hanburger at linebacker on defense and center on offense, All-America end Bob Lacey, and running back Ken Willard, the No. 2 pick in the 1965 NFL draft, on offense, the veteran Tar Heels won the ACC championship with relative ease.
