On Labor Day Monday, Mack Brown sat down with Jones Angell as part of his radio show, then held a Zoom conference with members of the press. Most of the discussion centered around Carolina’s preparations for their season opener against Syracuse this Saturday at Kenan Stadium (12 Sept, noon, ACC Network). Here are some notes and highlights.
- Coach Brown spoke at length about the safety precautions taken by UNC and the ACC to make it possible for college football to happen in any capacity. While thrilled to play, he did feel that it won’t be the same in an empty stadium, stating, “I hate the fact that our wonderful fans won’t be at the game on Saturday because last year they sold out every game, they were a true homefield advantage and we’ll lose that advantage against Syracuse.
