UNC Football: How to watch home opener vs. App State
The UNC football program and its fans are riding an emotional high, with the Tar Heels dominating South Carolina defensively in a 31-17, Week 1 victory under the bright lights of Bank of America Stadium.
UNC controlled the ground game with 168 rushing yards – 103 of those came from British Brooks in his first game since 2021. Drake Maye threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Most importantly, the defense – which shocked the entire college football world – generated nine sacks against Spencer Rattler.
The Tar Heels only faced one deficit, for two minutes in the second quarter, then took the lead for good on Kobe Paysour’s touchdown grab.
UNC returns to Chapel Hill this week for its home opener, as it clashes with App State in a rematch of last year’s thriller. The Mountaineers are coming off an exciting win over Labor Day Weekend, generating a comeback of their own over Gardner-Webb for a 45-24 victory.
