UNC Football: Tar Heels open as favorites against ECU

The North Carolina Tar Heels are hoping to get things on track this week following a disappointing season-opening loss to Cal last Saturday. UNC’s offense struggled out of the gate, falling behind and never really recovering.

Although UNC made it interesting at the end, there was more good than bad. Now, the Tar Heels head back out onto the road for a matchup against East Carolina University in what is a very important game for both programs.

Both teams are coming off tough losses in Week 1 with the Pirates losing in upset fashion to North Carolina A&T.
