UNC Cruises Past Illinois 48-23, Picks Up First Win Of 2016

Posted Sep 11, 2016
Eager to prove itself following a disappointing loss to Georgia last week, the UNC football team recovered from an early hiccup Saturday to dominate the Illinois Fighting Illini 48-23 in Champaign. The Tar Heels moved to 1-1 in 2016 with a stellar performance–both offensively and defensively–that should provide fans with plenty of comfort entering the road ahead. (Chapelboro.com)
