UNC Football Opponent Preview: Charlotte

Posted Aug 30, 2020
The Charlotte 49ers are a nice story as the football program continues to grow, but they won’t be much of a match for the Tar Heels as long as North Carolina is ready to play. UNC has way too many big-play weapons on offense and athletes on defense for Charlotte to pull off an upset. The Sept. 19 matchup will be the first meeting between the two teams.
