CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — No stranger to Boone, Mack Brown was visiting the High Country this summer when he crossed paths with Appalachian State offensive lineman Victor Johnson while getting a haircut.
There are lots of connections between App State and Brown, the former Mountaineers head coach who has returned to Chapel Hill for his second stint in charge of North Carolina's program.
There's not much actual football history between App State and UNC, but that will change Saturday, when the Eliah Drinkwitz-led Mountaineers (2-0) face the Tar Heels (2-1) in a sold-out Kenan Stadium at 3:30 p.
