Top 20 UNC Football Teams: No. 14 - 1977

Posted May 4, 2020
The 1977 Tar Heels won the ACC championship. They lost twice by scores of 10-7 (at Kentucky in the opener and at home versus nationally ranked Texas Tech), tied No. 13 Clemson 13-13, and then lost 21-17 to Nebraska in the bowl game. The first of four consecutive seasons of "Famous Amos" Lawrence rushing for 1,000 yards was a pretty good one. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
