It’s finally game day again folks!
The North Carolina Tar Heels (0-1) are in Illinois to take on the Fighting Illini (1-0) under the lights at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.
These two teams met last season, with the Tar Heels winning 48-14. But this isn’t the same Illinois team. They have a new head coach in Lovie Smith, an improved defense and a better offense.
UNC is coming off a disappointing loss to Georgia to open the season. It was the second-straight year the Tar Heels lost to an SEC team to begin the year.
Last season, UNC rallied off 11-straight wins after losing to South Carolina in the opener.
