There was a time long before the ACC expanded to California and the Big 12 extended from Florida to Utah when Carolina's football team staked a flag as the southern outpost of the Big Ten. Over a five-year period from 1962 to '66, the Tar Heels played seven games against Big Ten opponents, plus had Notre Dame on the slate three of those years.
And the results weren't half bad—Carolina beat Michigan State at home in 1964, ventured to The Horseshoe to thump Ohio State in 1965 and then to The Big House to beat Michigan in 1966.
