Today's game: Previewing JMU at UNC

Posted Sep 3, 2011
There will be some jitters on the field and on the sidelines in this strangest possible opener for the Tar Heels. Compared to just a year ago, when Butch Davis was the head coach and the opening foe was Louisiana State on a neutral field in Atlanta, much has changed. The '10 team didn't have to beat LSU. This team must win its opener. Prediction: Heels, 31-10. (Raleigh News & Observer)
