The UNC football program is 1-0 to open the year as they beat FAMU 56-24, holding them off in the second half.
UNC was able to jump out to the early 7-0 lead but FAMU responded with a touchdown of their own on the ensuing drive. After that, UNC was able to grab the lead with another scoring drive and really never look back.
Drake Maye led the Tar Heels on eight scoring drives, throwing for five touchdowns in his debut to set a program record. While it was a little sloppy at times from the Tar Heels, they got the result they wanted in the end and are now moving their focus to Appalachian State.
Before we get to that, we need to hand out helmet stickers for the Tar Heels big win to open the season. Take a look at the players that earned our first helmet stickers of the year.
