August was a simpler time. Students were ushered back to Chapel Hill with a renewed faith in the world and their football team that each new school year seems to bring. Alas, we find ourselves in mid-November and the Tar Heels are two games away from finishing what can charitably be described as less than perfect season. I was one of many optimistic fans who thought that UNC would be able to find themselves bowling again this season, but it wasn’t to be.
While mathematically we’ll have to wait another season for a possible bowl berth, on an individual level several players have had an outstanding season.
