UNC vs UConn: Three Things to Watch

After a season of some highs but more lows, the Carolina football team will head up north to take on AAC member Connecticut in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl. The Heels are a team in transition after letting go of head coach Mack Brown and hiring Bill Belichick to replace him. Freddie Kitchens will serve as UNC’s interim coach for the bowl game.

With all the hoopla and drama surrounding the hiring of Bill Belichick, the bowl game itself has taken a bit of a back seat in importance. Nevertheless, it’s safe to assume the team and the fans would like to close out a trying season with a win over an 8-4 opponent.
