UNC football players won’t get tested again, confident bowl game will be played but worries persist

Posted Dec 29, 2021
“I’ve told our team all we can control is us,” UNC football coach Mack Brown said. “Don’t let us be the reason we don’t play and, so far, they’ve done a good job with that.” Brown said Wednesday that Tar Heels players won’t be tested again before Thursday’s 11:30 a.m. Duke’s Mayo Bowl matchup in Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium with South Carolina.
