College football countdown, No. 45: North Carolina

Posted Jul 22, 2013
Don't look now, but we're entering an exciting age of North Carolina football. To date, UNC's glory years came from 1992-97, when Mack Brown first rebuilt the Tar Heels' diminished sense of self-confidence before making three runs at national prestige on the road to Texas. What has happened – and most of all, what is about to happen – may trump Brown's run of success. (USA Today)
