The Game Plan: Status Check

Four games in, the debate over UNC Football has been less about the wins and losses and more about how the team has looked in arriving at its 2-2 record. Inside Carolina’s Jason Staples and Greg Barnes join Tommy Ashley to check in on the Tar Heels and discuss the product on the field, what needs to change, and what the expectations are both against Clemson on Oct. 4 and beyond.
