We are now just one week away from the Tar Heels’ season tip-off against Radford, and given the state of the football program, it cannot get here soon enough. Carolina is coming off a couple impressive showings in exhibition wins over FAU and St. Augustine’s. They reportedly dominated the Owls in a secret scrimmage and throttled an albeit less gifted Falcons team on Friday, 117-53.
In the Heels’ 64-point victory over St. Augustine’s, there really wasn’t anything to complain about. Obviously, I am cautious to overreact to a preseason game against a Division II opponent, but they showed you everything you could hope for from a team perspective.
