Tar Heels open Fedora era against Elon

Posted Aug 31, 2012
Larry Fedora knows exactly what to expect when he leads North Carolina for the first time as its head coach Saturday against Elon. "I couldn't be any more excited," Fedora said. "But this is something I've been doing for 26 years, and I can tell you I have the same knot in my stomach that I have every game week since I was a player, and it'll move all the way up to my throat by kickoff."
