For North Carolina, the 2017 football season is not playing out as many had hoped. Were the expectations unreasonably lofty and unattainable? Most certainly not, but limping to a 1-4 start wasn’t even on the radar, either.
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard that the injury list for the Tar Heels reads like a multi-volume crime novel. The latest edition includes 13 players out for the season with six more listed as questionable for the match up against Notre Dame.
Even with those troubles, the season must go on and the Fighting Irish visit Chapel Hill on Saturday.
