UNC’s Drake Make on the transformative power of the last dozen months — including dispelling transfer rumors from Chick-fil-A — and what’s ahead as this new season dawns.

Caleb Hood had one carry across UNC’s last three games (the third-down run out of the wildcat that Clemson stuffed). Feels like forever ago now, but in 2022 he was the starting RB alongside QB Drake Maye in ACC wins against VaTech, Miami, Duke and Pitt.

Fifth-year senior Caleb Hood, who began the season as UNC’s starting running back, is retiring from college football. Read: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Arguably the best player on UNC’s reeling team.

UNC starting cornerback Thad Dixon will be out for an extended period of time, sources told Inside Carolina. He sustained an injury in the second quarter vs. Clemson when diving for the football and did not return. More on Dixon: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Documentary series on Bill Belichick’s first season at UNC won’t be happening, after all.

UNC is no longer moving forward with the in-season documentary with Hulu, sources close to the program told Inside Carolina. The team announced its plan in August to collaborate with Hulu to showcase the team this season. Story: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Five games in, the optimism that buzzed wildly during the lead-up to UNC’s first season under Bill Belichick already has been replaced by a biting reality. Here’s more, read: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Give me the choice of any QB taken in the last five drafts to start my franchise with — Stroud, Purdy, Caleb, Jayden, Trevor, Cam Ward, etc — and I’d take Maye first overall. He has everything you need in a franchise star. Gets better with each start. High ceiling, high floor.


UNC now has been buried by a combined margin of 120-33 in games against power-conference opponents this season (TCU, UCF, Clemson).

So much for the extra time afforded Bill Belichick to get UNC better prepared for its ACC opener. The Tar Heels come off an open date and effectively face-plant into a brick wall against Clemson. Instant Analysis from the 38-10 loss at Kenan Stadium: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

UNC and Clemson entered Saturday as struggling teams, but the Tigers still looked well beyond the Tar Heels’ level in Kenan Stadium. Bill Belichick’s squad was dominated once again in a game that spiraled quickly. More on the mismatch on Saturday: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

UNC and Clemson coming up here in Chapel Hill in about 70 minutes. Tigers have won nine of the last 10 meetings. Only victory for the Tar Heels in that stretch came in 2010.

Max Johnson’s college football odyssey continues: 14 starts at LSU (under Ed Orgeron), eight starts at Texas A&M (under Jimbo Fisher), one start at UNC (under Mack Brown) entering today.

As UNC moves closer to 24 hours shy of kickoff for its ACC opener against Clemson, Max Johnson is expected to be the Tar Heels’ starting QB on Saturday, according to the consensus among a number of sources. Here’s more, read: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Whether UNC makes a move at QB and turns to backup Max Johnson this week against Clemson could hinge on Gio Lopez’s health, rather than the struggles he has encountered as the Tar Heels’ starter. Here’s more from Bill Belichick today. Read: on3.com/teams/north-ca…
