ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Billy Edwards just delivered the BEST game of his North Carolina football career against No. 1 Miami. Can he keep it rolling when Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels travel to face UConn on Saturday?
Isaac Schade welcomes Anthony Pagnotta of Heel Tough Blog to Locked On Tar Heels to preview North Carolina vs. UConn and discuss whether Billy Edwards and Bobby Petrino have finally unlocked the UNC offense!
The Tar Heels have scored 30+ points in back-to-back games, and Saturday presents a golden opportunity against a UConn defense surrendering nearly 250 passing yards per game. Could Jordan Shipp, Jelani Thurman, and Trech Kekahuna be in for a BIG afternoon?
PLUS, it's time for our W2W4 (What to Watch For), featuring four keys to a Carolina victory, including UNC's pass catchers, containing UConn's mobile quarterback Kalieb Osborne, improving the pass rush, and getting the running game going!
We also discuss Bill Belichick's return to New England, UConn's penalty problems, Carolina's path to bowl eligibility, and our final score predictions!
