Here's the schedule and way too early predictions:
Aug 30 Liberty 1-0
Sept 6 San Diego State - UNC opens with 2 gimmes before hitting a 7 game stretch that will likely give them some trouble. 2-0
Sept 13 Open
Sept 20 at ECU- We found out last year that ECU is not the gimme game that we once believed it to be. While ECU lost 75% of their starters, they return a strong core in an offense that gave us fits last year. I list this game as 50-50. We've had success in Greenville and my gut tells me we will this year. 3-0
Sept 27 at Clemson - I've already come around to the fact that we'll prolly get crushed in Death Valley. Clemson loses a ton, but they return a large part of a defense that has improved every year since Venables took over. 3-1
Oct 4 Virginia Tech - HOUSE DIVIDED WEEK - Still 2-9 against this team since they joined the ACC, but 2-3 against the Hokies in the last 5. VTs has major questions on offense heading into this season, but should be rock solid on defense. I like that we play Virginia Tech early on, but it's tough for me to be fired up about a defense that let Logan Thomas carve them up last year. This 50-50 falls in favor of the maroon and orange. 3-2
Oct 11 at Notre Dame - I would love nothing more than to help bring back the one known as "Lord Purple Face Kelly." I think Carolina will play well in South Bend but will have a tough time stopping a revamped Notre Dame offense QB'd by Everett Golson. 3-3
Oct 18 Georgia Tech - This is the year we aren't gonna lose to Georgia Tech. To hell with Paul Johnson. 4-3
October 25 at LOLUVA - No brainer, 5-3. CAROLINA IS MIKE LONDON'S DADDY.
Nov 1 at Miami - Odds are this game will be at night. I hate playing any Miami team on the road at night.
5-4
Nov 8 open
Nov 15 Pittsburgh - HOUSE DIVIDED WEEK VOL. 2 - Pitt improved last year as the season went on, and nearly had a comeback for the ages in front of yours truly. This game scares me and in my opinion more vulnerable than the UVA game. I think Carolina has a game in them this year that they'll lose, which they shouldn't: THIS IS THAT GAME. 5-5
Nov 20 (Thursday) at Duke - Cutcliffe has found the formula of how to win in Durham(in football). Duke was a senior laden team last year, but also had youth in key spots. Until Fedora shows me he can beat Duke, I can't predict Carolina to win this one. 5-6
Nov 29 NC State - UNLIKE DUKE, FEDORA OWNS NC STATE. HOPEFULLY THIS ONE CAPS A WINLESS ACC SEASON ONCE AGAIN IN WEST RALEIGH.
6-6 and headed to another shit bowl. I think this year will be a product of the ACC getting better as a whole, and that we face another 7 game gauntlet in the schedule. I think Carolina has the talent on their roster to get better as the year goes on. 2015 in my opinion is the break out year.
