UNC Football early opponent preview: Louisville Cardinals

Posted Aug 22, 2017
The last time these two teams played was 2012 with Louisville still a member of Conference USA. Larry Fedora was in his first season still trying to instill his new offense and Charlie Strong hadn’t left for Texas yet. Louisville got the win at home that day 39-34. Despite outscoring Louisville 20-3 in the fourth, UNC fell short. But will it be any different in Chapel Hill this year? (Keeping It Heel)
