North Carolina and TCU face off in college football opener at Aviva Stadium
Summary

The North Carolina Tar Heels (0-0) are set to play the TCU Horned Frogs (0-0) at Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon for Week 0 of college football. North Carolina, coming off a disappointing 4-8 season, looks to rebound after last year's 48-14 loss to TCU. The Tar Heels' key player is wide receiver Jordan Shipp, who finished last season strong. TCU, on the other hand, is entering the season with confidence after finishing 9-4 last year and winning their last three games, including an overtime victory against No. 16 USC in the Alamo Bowl. Both teams aim to start their campaigns successfully this weekend.
