UNC looking to improve on previous bye week struggles

Posted Sep 11, 2014
Coach Larry Fedora said this week came at a good time, and it will give the Tar Heels a chance to practice fundamentals, prepare for the game against East Carolina and heal some of the injured players. Yet, most of the performances after an extra week’s rest under Fedora have been less than stellar. During the last three seasons, UNC has had three games where its had at least 10 days to prepare for an opponent. (Carolina Blue)
