ACC Week 1 Coaching Grades
Posted Sep 7, 2015
Larry Fedora, UNC, C: But it’s a low C, because the Tar Heels should have won against South Carolina. The defense and once beleaguered placekicker Nick Weiler each earned solid A’s, and sophomore running back Elijah Hood resembled a cross between Natrone Means and Kelvin Bryant. But the Heels’ play-calling, personnel packaging and red-zone execution were all just weak.
