John Bunting’s first UNC Football team opened their 2001 schedule the road with three teams that ended the year in the top 10, falling at Oklahoma, at Texas, and at Maryland before trouncing No. 6 Florida State, 41-9. That club also won at NC State, at Clemson, and at home versus Virginia. The Tar Heels also squashed Auburn’s offense in the Peach Bowl.
