Relish UNC Football's 8-2 Start, as it Doesn't Happen Very Often

Posted Nov 15, 2023
Mack Brown is proud his team sits at 8-2 right now and 4-2 in the ACC. He isn’t happy about the Tar Heels’ two losses, which came at home to Virginia and at Georgia Tech, a pair of teams that entered those games with a combined 4-9 record. However, 8-2 is 8-2, and it hasn’t happened a whole lot in UNC’s history. Only once, in 1914, did UNC start 10-0. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
