When featured in marquee games under Larry Fedora in the first week, North Carolina hasn’t been able to start the season off strong.
In the first four years since Larry Fedora took over in Chapel Hill, North Carolina has been up-and-down during college football’s opening week. Against mediocre, smaller schools, the Tar Heels have been just fine, coming away with comfortable wins on the back of explosive offensives. When facing legitimate opponents with noteworthy football programs? UNC hasn’t been able to impress.
In 2012, UNC defeated Elon 62-0 in the first game with Fedora at the helm.
