UNC has a strong chance to start the season 3-0 in a year that many expect to be a throwaway. Last season, the Tar Heels handled Minnesota with ease, beating the Gophers 31-13.Â
The 49ers matchup is intriguing, seeing it will mark the first time the two programs have ever played against each other. Meanwhile, Central will have the opportunity to play in Kenan Stadium for the first time.
