UNC seeks redemption against TCU as Belichick's second season starts

The University of North Carolina opens its second season under head coach Bill Belichick against TCU. After a disappointing 4–8 record last year, the Tar Heels are looking to improve amidst off-field controversies, including a personnel complaint against GM Michael Lombardi and the indefinite medical leave of defensive coordinator Steve Belichick. The game on Saturday marks a chance for UNC to begin the new season on a positive note following a tumultuous 2025. Belichick aims to leverage a top-15 recruiting class to turn the program around after entering college football with high expectations.
