The Day After: Heels Thumped in Opener

Inside Carolina’s Jason Staples and Buck Sanders join host Tommy Ashley to discuss the beatdown North Carolina suffered at the hands of visiting TCU. The Heels were electric on the game’s first drive, but had no answers on either side of the ball from there on, as the Horned Frogs cruised to the blow out win in Bill Belichick’s debut as UNC head coach.
