Chansky’s Notebook: Test of Toughness for UNC Football

Posted Sep 22, 2023
The Tar Heels are facing a historic game at Pitt Saturday. They can be the first UNC team to open the season 4-0 since 1997. And Mack Brown’s played that card all week. The Tar Heels are a touchdown favorite over the Panthers, who have beaten UNC in their last two visits to the Steel City. So, if UNC will ever be ready to play, it should be this game.
