Coming off a phenomenal 2015 that saw them win the Coastal and come within an onside kick of a potential playoff birth, the North Carolina Tar Heels followed up with a fairly disappointing 2016, going 8-5 and falling to Stanford in their bowl game.
Now, at 1-7, the bottom has completely dropped out for the Heels in 2017. UNC has lost most of their core contributors from those great teams of years past, but have also mightily struggled with the injury bug. 16 (!) Tar Heels are out for the season, seven of them starters.
