Tar Heels excited for South Carolina opener

Posted Aug 29, 2013
Tonight, the Tar Heels will take on No. 6 South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium in a night game broadcast on ESPN, a far cry from a 12:30 p.m. kickoff against FCS opponent Elon on the ACC Network in 2012. And the team knows it. “It’s an exciting time for college football,” quarterback Bryn Renner said. “No offense to Elon, but I’m really happy we’re playing South Carolina." (Daily Tar Heel)
