UNC Football's Historic Start Continues

Posted Oct 17, 2023
North Carolina Football is 6-0 for the first time since 1997 and has scored 30 or more points in the first six games for the first time since 1914! Virginia has won just once and none of the ESPN partners chose to televise this game. Still, as the late Coach Bill Dooley used to say, the Tar Heels "can’t just roll their headgear on the field and expect to win." (WRAL Sports Fan)
