Larry Fedora, UNC, A: With a 53-14 win over NC A&T, the Tar Heels followed much the same route as Duke and will stay in step with a game this week against unbeaten Illinois (2-0) of the Big Ten. After taking over as head coach following the dismissal of Tim Beckman in August, Bill Cubit has opened with a 52-3 win over Kent State and 44-0 over Western Illinois. (WRAL Sports Fan)
