Lessons Learned as the UNC football program squashes Richmond
Richmond v North Carolina | Lance King/GettyImagesThe UNC football program continued its climb from the wreckage of its season opening humiliation to TCU with a convincing win over FCS opponent Richmond. The Spiders were no match for North Carolina and the Tar Heels were able to clean up some grime in their game, though troubling spots still remain.
UNC was never in a doubt to lose this game, but needed to continue showing improvement on both sides of the line, as well as improved defense. Let's count this game as progress, not a finished product, as we look at some lessons learned from the win over Richmond.
