For UNC and Duke, the 2014 football season begins now

Posted Jan 7, 2014
Though the start of the 2014 campaign might seem a long way away – 234 days, to be exact – it can’t get here fast enough for the newly motivated Tar Heels. UNC punt return star Ryan Switzer is so fired up to get going again that he was already talking about his team’s Aug. 30 opener against Liberty while accepting the MVP trophy of the Tar Heels’ Belk Bowl victory against Cincinnati.
