North Carolina Football: 2023 Tar Heels Season Preview and Prediction

Posted May 25, 2023
Quarterback Drake Maye and the offense should keep North Carolina competitive, but the team’s success will hinge on its defense and ability to win close games. When the Tar Heels started 9-1 last season, they were 4-0 in games decided by three points or fewer. During their four-game skid to close the season, they lost three games by four points or fewer.
