North Carolina will travel to Chesnut Hill this week ahead of a Saturday afternoon battle with ACC foe Boston College. The Tar Heels (6-4) are streaking of late, winners of three in a row and bowl eligible for the sixth consecutive year. Coach Mack Brown has impressively found a way to resurface a pulse in Chapel Hill, as its been a season of trials on and off the field for North Carolina.
After surrendering 70 points to James Madison in Week 4, a nine win season felt insurmountable. Well, here we are. What stands in the way for the time being is Boston College (5-5), who has lost four out of five.
