With Minnesota on Tap Next Month, What's UNC Football's History Vs. the Big Ten?

Posted Jul 10, 2024
When UNC Football visits Minnesota, it will mark just the second time under Mack Brown that the Tar Heels have made their season debut against a Big Ten opponent. UNC defeated Indiana in Chapel Hill, 23-6, on Sept. 6, 1997. The last time the Tar Heels took on a Big Ten opponent was in 2016, when they traveled to Illinois and earned a lopsided victory.
