ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

The UNC football program is BACK as they get set to take on Minnesota in their 2024 college football season opener at Huntington Bank Stadium.

This primetime matchup is a rematch from a contest between the two teams a season ago, as North Carolina pout together a rather convincing victory over the Gophers by a score of 31-13 on September 16, 2023.

The post Drake Maye era begins for the UNC football program as we quite frankly know which quarterback will trot out with the offensive unit for the team's opening drive of the season. While Maye is playing on Sundays, the Tar Heels benefit from having All-American running back Omarion Hampton back in the mix as he's poised for another star-studded season in 2024.

Although you might not think that Minnesota and North Carolina are very similiar, guess again. The Gophers have a new quarterback and defensive coordinator in place, very similar to what the Tar Heels are experiencing heading into the new season. While both teams struggled mightily down the stretch a season ago, both teams look to get off to a fast start to kickoff the new season.

The weather might not be ideal come kickoff time, but hey, we'll see how it impacts both teams as they compete against each other in the second-ever meeting.
