A look back at 1982 UNC football

Posted May 6, 2015
North Carolina's football program has a history of missed opportunities, and the 1982 season began with one of the more classic such examples of that when the Tar Heels opened with a 7-6 loss at No. 1 ranked Pittsburgh. Panthers QB Dan Marino struggled against the Tar Heels' stacked defense that finished 6th in the nation, but Carolina couldn't muster much offense itself. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
