5-1 Tar Heels focused on sustaining winning habits

Posted Oct 19, 2015
North Carolina’s 5-1 record means the Tar Heels are one win from bowl eligibility before Halloween. It is the first 5-1 start for the program since 2011. The mark is also the best start under Larry Fedora and the fourth-year UNC program leader admits it feels good. “It feels a whole lot better,” Fedora said. “It’s a confidence booster. It makes them feel better about everything that we’re doing .” (WRAL Sports Fan)
