UNC's Orange Bowl Effort Lays Foundation for 2021

Posted Jan 4, 2021
It had been more than 70 years since North Carolina played in a major bowl game, and if Saturday’s performance in the Orange Bowl was any indication, it won’t be nearly as long a wait for Mack Brown’s Tar Heels to return to the New Year’s Six primetime stage. UNC will finish ranked in the Top-25 for only the second time since Brown left for Texas in 1997. (Inside Carolina)
