Tough Schedule Shouldn't Change UNC Football's Expectations

Posted May 7, 2026
There has to be dramatic improvement from UNC Football's 4-8 record last year. Now that you’re playing a legitimate schedule, you still have to be better than 6-6 if you want to win the fan base back after what happened last year. If you can go 7-5, 8-4 against this schedule, there’s going to be a lot of hope for 2027 because it gives the Tar Heels momentum. (Inside Carolina)
