Sapakoff: 'Deserving' UNC is Clemson's toughest foe (and that Gamecock thing)

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).
