UNC Football: It’s State Week
Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY SportsCarolina’s 2018 football season ended on November 23rd, 2018 with a 34-28 overtime loss to North Carolina State. When Carolina takes on State this Saturday, 364 days will have passed between last season’s game and this year’s clash, almost exactly a full year. And what a year it’s been.
A year ago, the Carolina football program was overshadowed with doubts and went into the offseason with more questions than answers. I truly admire those of you who found reasons to be optimistic that the 2019 year wouldn’t just be the newest episode in the same series. I’m ashamed to admit that I thought a two or three year rebuild was the most likely, and most optimistic outcome.
