It didn’t take long for North Carolina senior football adviser Sparky Woods to realize his first game as a Tar Heel would be against the Gamecocks. He will be at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium on Saturday in baby-blue attire, with no extra desire to win just because the opponent once hired him to lead it out of dark times only to be fired five years later.
