The North Carolina Tar Heels secured a 45-10 victory over NC Central on Saturday night, but the win came after a sluggish first half.

This week, UNC faces a home matchup against James Madison before kicking off their ACC schedule with a road game at Duke. The Tar Heels are already making a mark nationally, receiving votes in the latest US LBM Coaches poll, landing at No. 36, just ahead of in-state rivals NC State.
