UNC coach Larry Fedora says he expects the atmosphere to be be great at Kenan Stadium against N.C. State but he also expects the Pack to be well prepared.
“It will be a heck of a game,” Fedora said. “I think it will be a great atmosphere Saturday. I really do. Our fans will be excited. I’m sure they’ll have some fans here. It’s a typical rivalry game it’s one of the great things about college football is the passion that the fans have in a rivalry.”
But the Tar Heels have some things to fix after losing to another rival, Duke, last Saturday. “It told me we need to learn how to finish as a football team, and that is something that we’re constantly working on,” Fedora said. “We had plenty of opportunities to win the football game. Then on the other hand it also told me that we need to start faster than that. We can’t sit around waiting for something to happen. We’ve got to make something happen.”
Fedora said his coaching staff has made some adjustments that he hopes will paid dividends down the road – maybe this week against the rival Wolfpack.
He said games like this one coming up against State is one of the reasons young men play the game of football. “That’s what you dream about,” he said. “So it should be a lot of fun.”
