UNC opponent film preview - James Madison

Carolina football takes on James Madison University in the 2016 home opener. Here’s how the Dukes are looking so far

The James Madison Dukes will come to Chapel Hill this Saturday in what should be a buzzing Kenan Memorial Stadium. With the first two games of the season being road games, this will be our first chance to see how Carolina performs at home. One of two FCS teams on the schedule this year, JMU comes in ranked 8th in the country in the coaches poll. However, don't let the “FCS” in that sentence fool you. Because of some style match-ups between the Heels and Dukes on both sides of the ball, Saturday’s game could test some of UNC’s weaker areas.
