UNC Football early opponent preview: Western Carolina Catamounts

Previous Team Previews:

NC State

Two seasons ago, UNC played two FCS schools and it hurt them with the College Football Playoff committee.

Last season North Carolina also played two FCS schools, but due to a greater gap between them, it didn’t seem to effect them as much.

However, because of a poor finish, it didn’t matter.

Will the Tar Heels be good enough this season that playing only one FCS team could keep them in the playoff picture?

Head Coach: Mark Speir. Career Record 18-34. This will be his sixth season at Western Carolina which is his only head coaching stop.
