Brewer: Special 50th Anniversary

Posted Oct 23, 2013
Some of North Carolina's finest players will be on hand Saturday when the 1963 Gator Bowl team celebrates its 50th anniversary. The Tar Heels posted a 9-2 record that fall and routed Air Force, 35-0, in the Gator Bowl. These players provided the school its finest moments from the Charlie Justice teams of the 1940s until Bill Dooley rebuilt the program in the 1970s. (GoHeels.com)
