The Citadel visited Kenan Stadium on Saturday to take on the Tar Heels on a beautiful afternoon in Chapel Hill. After starting the season 10-0, and clinching a berth in the FCS playoffs, the Bulldogs were hoping to add to their impressive season. Carolina, who were coming off a fundamental-filled yet inspired week of practice, looked to return to normal after last week’s loss to Duke. In many respects, this game was irrelevant for both teams. It did not have a bearing on either team’s postseason hopes, but it was a chance to prove themselves nonetheless.
The Bulldogs received the kickoff, and looked strong to start.
