Tar Heels aim to build on solid start to Mack Brown’s second tenure
Posted Sep 1, 2020
Mack Brown needed less than a year to stop UNC's descent. Now he’s looking for a big jump in his second season. The 18th-ranked Tar Heels bring back quarterback Sam Howell among 10 returning offensive starters, while the defense returns seven starters led by linebacker Chazz Surratt. That has the Tar Heels looking like a contender in the ACC.
