UNC football surged under the radar and has a chance to win the ACC
Posted Oct 30, 2015
North Carolina did everyone a favor this year. The Tar Heels' season-opening loss to South Carolina threw us off the scent and kept us from building too much hype too soon. It allowed them to get to work with minimal scrutiny. Thursday night's 26-19 win at Pitt showed us that the work is paying off. UNC rode big plays to a halftime lead, then coordinator Gene Chizik's defense went to work.
