The Tar Heels made the move of the offseason by bringing in legendary coach Bill Belichick to run their football program. Belichick holds the record for most Super Bowl championships as a head coach in the NFL, and will now look to prove he still has what it takes to run a successful team.

North Carolina finished 6-7 last season and has not put together a double-digit win campaign since 2015. They are not known as a football school, and the hiring of Belichick could change that narrative.

TCU, on the other hand, has a history of being a quality program. They went 9-4 last year, including a win in the New Mexico Bowl, and won 13 games as recently as 2022. They should have the upper hand tonight, but the presence of Belichick and the plan he will have for them defensively might get the best of them. Belichick is a mastermind when it comes to limiting the opposition’s best players.
This is a great college football matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
