A remade position group will try to improve on a shaky season

Ladles, gentlespoons, after a long summer (aren’t they all?), UNC sports are officially back in session. The Tar Heel women’s soccer team, still somewhat in the shadow of the news of legendary coach Anson Dorrance’s retirement, have begun their season and begun it on the right note, with a 2-1 victory at Denver University that wasn’t really as close as the score suggests. The #8 Tar Heels outshot the Pioneers 19-4 and dominated the ball for basically the whole game for interim coach Damon Nahas’ first victory.
The Heels hope for a bit less turbulence this year than last
The 6th-ranked Heels had some rust to shake off, but found a way to get the result they wanted

With an injury to their starting quarterback, UNC Football is changing a lot more from Week 1 to Week 2 than one would expect, and so Mack Brown’s press conference on Monday was a fairly more significant one than you’d expect for the week leading up to a game against an FCS opponent. We also got an ahead-of-time depth chart for the first time this season after Mack Brown and P.J. Fleck both didn’t release the Game 1 versions until an hour before kickoff (I will continue to be salty about this). I’ve gone ahead and compiled the highlights of both here for y’all as we all anticipate seeing the Heels in action on Saturday.
