Tar Heels Dominate ETSU at Home | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina Tar Heels roll into Saturday’s home opener against East Tennessee State with a clear mission: dominate and secure bowl eligibility. Favored by over 34 points, UNC can’t afford to let the Buccaneers hang around — it’s about executing their game plan from the first snap. QB Billy Edwards Jr., who showed flashes in his debut against TCU, could see more reps if they pull ahead early, with backup Miles ONeill also in the mix. Meanwhile, ETSU’s offense is no slouch — quarterback Mason Mims has thrown for over 600 yards and five TDs, while running back TJ Peyton’s ground game adds firepower. This marks the first-ever meeting between the two schools, and with kickoff at noon ET on ACC Network, expect UNC to cruise to victory and set the tone for a challenging season ahead.
