Bill Belichick's UNC football team starts season in Ireland against TCU

Bill Belichick begins his second season as North Carolina head coach against TCU in Dublin, Ireland. After a disappointing 4-8 record last year, Belichick hopes to turn things around, despite concerns regarding his team's talent and ongoing issues with staff changes. Last season, the Tar Heels lost 48-14 in their opener against TCU, which contributes to the pressure on Belichick in this rematch. The team is entering the game as 7.5-point underdogs, seeking to break a trend of losses affecting previous teams that played in Ireland. The kickoff is set for this weekend in a crucial start to the season.
