UNC football looks to maintain hot start, intensity against Virginia

Posted Oct 20, 2015
The North Carolina football team sits at 5-1 entering Saturday’s contest against Virginia. It marks the first time since 2011 that UNC has opened the season at 5-1, as well as the best start for Coach Larry Fedora during his four-year tenure. And having grown accustomed to such poor starts over the past two seasons, he confessed there’s a sense of relief surrounding him and his team. (Daily Tar Heel)
