Football schedule analysis: UNC

Posted Feb 15, 2011
Last year was the toughest schedule UNC had under Butch Davis and this will likely be the easiest. The Tar Heels should start 3-0 and win no less than eight games. The early road games at Georgia Tech and ECU might get dicey for new quarterback Bryn Renner but a split there and two road losses (from Clemson, State and Virginia Tech) would leave the Heels at 9-3.
