Following their first victory of the 2025 season (and of the Bill Belichick era in itself), the UNC football program returns home to host Richmond on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill.
Some momentum would do wonders for this team as they look to still erase a disappointing showing in the team's home opener against TCU. With Clemson looming a few weeks away, the UNC football program would love to win the next two (against Richmond and UCF) to go into that game riding a three-game winning streak and a lot of confidence.
Before we get to that point, you can't overlook what's right in front of you: the Richmond Spiders.
