It’s the last non-conference game of the football season for the Tar Heels, and also their earliest start of the season. For the first time this year, when the Bell Tower strikes noon, the Tar Heels will be kicking off against James Madison.
The game has been sold out for a while, so the atmosphere will be interesting, as no other games besides the NC State game has sold out beforehand. Even Homecoming in two weeks hasn't sold out. That leads one to believe that the Dukes will be bringing a pretty strong contingent over with them.
