North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye (10) warms up for the Tar Heels season opener against Florida A&M on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. rwillett@newsobserver.comNorth Carolina begins its football season in the game that almost wasn’t against Florida A&M at Kenan Stadium. The Rattlers internally discussed canceling the game when they learned 20 players were deemed ineligible and could not make the trip from Tallahassee, Fla. They made it to Chapel Hill by 6 p.m. on Friday, but may enter the game shorthanded at a couple of positions starting with the offensive line. The Tar Heels have many questions to answer with an offense that will introduce an entirely new group of skill players and a defense guided by the return of Gene Chizik as its coordinator. Brown, Luke DeCock and Robert Willett are at Kenan Stadium for all the action.
