Mack Brown explains the chip on North Carolina's shoulder, how it compares to last year

Posted Jul 8, 2023
Going into the 2023 season, UNC has a chip on its shoulder. As head coach Mack Brown explained, this is a chip that’s been on their shoulder since the 2021 season. “It’s very similar, except they’re older. Most of them are back, and last year they had the chip on their shoulder. They were coming off six wins and an awful bowl game against South Carolina." (On3.com)
