Posted Dec 7, 2015
When Baylor and North Carolina face off in the Russell Athletic Bowl, it will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs. Yet, for UNC coach Larry Fedora, it will be a reunion of sorts. Fedora was born in College Station, Texas, won a national championship playing wide receiver at NAIA school Austin College in North Texas and started his coaching career at a Garland, Texas, high school.
