The Mack Brown-led North Carolina Tar Heels are finally getting the respect they deserve after an 8-4 overall and 7-3 in conference record last season.
Going into this season, there’s a lot of hype around the program as they welcomed in another impressive 2021 recruiting class as well as returning most of their starters from that bowl loss to Texas A&M.
