A JERSEY GUY: No. 11 North Carolina
The Tar Heels could be the sleeper team of the year in college football.
The Tar Heels could be the sleeper team of the year in college football.
First the good news. Clemson isn't on the regular season schedule and a meeting with Notre Dame is scheduled to be played in Chapel Hill in November.
The bad news: In a normal season, the Tar Heels would be a solid favorite to win the ACC Coastal Division.
But wait...there is more and than enough good news.
Like sophomore QB Sam Howell, who threw 38 TDs as a freshman, a pair of 1,000 yard running backs in Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome, a 1,000 yard rusher in Michael Carter.
That should be enough to offset a defense which needs to be rebuilt.
Small wonder the Tar Heels are doing whatever they can to make sure that Mack Brown's second stint in Carolina is a sweet one.
