Following a disappointing loss in the 2025 season opener, the UNC football program is looking to bounce back quickly as they make the short trip to Charlotte to take on the 49ers.
The hype in Charlotte will be high, as they added temporary seats to try and accommodate the increased ticket requests (likely due to Bill Belichick coming into town). North Carolina will be opposed by former Tar Heel Conner Harrell, Charlotte's starting quarterback.
