Head coach Larry Fedora was roasted on radio sports talk shows in Charlotte the day after his North Carolina football team opened the 2015 season with a 17-13 loss to South Carolina in the Queen City. The Gamecocks were favored, but the Tar Heels gave it away with three turnovers and zany play calls.
What a difference an 11-game win streak makes.
Fedora on Saturday night will return to Charlotte with a No. 8-ranked team hoping to knock off No. 1 Clemson and ruin the Tigers’ College Football Playoff dream.
The same Tar Heels that lost to South Carolina (3-9) are easily the best opponent so far for Clemson (12-0).
