Tar Heels look to join the 1980 ACC champs

Posted Dec 3, 2015
What the Tar Heels and their fans should be talking about is the opportunity to win the school’s first ACC football championship in 35 years. Larry Fedora and his staff have done a fantastic job of keeping their goals in line and knocking them down one by one. The ACC title is next. How good was that 1980 Carolina team? 11-1 good, ACC champion good and loaded with talent. (WRAL Sports Fan)
