UNC football is 2-3 on the season after getting obliterated by Clemson, 38-10, on Saturday. 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell and Michael Koh react to the poor performance and discuss how the game snowballed out of control. Which poor defensive stat reflects UNC’s struggles in the first half, as Bill Belichick’s team entered the locker room down 32 points? What could be learned from QB Max Johnson’s first full performance as a starter and where does the quarterback conundrum rank in the list of issues this roster faces? The North Carolina Sports Network’s David Glenn joins to share his impressions of the team and where its disastrous start ranks in his years of covering ACC football. “What In Tar-Nation?!” features a viral moment from the game and some grumpy listener texts, while an update on the former Tar Heels in the NFL help bring a little bit of joy to the show.

Listeners can call 919-240-6000 to leave voicemails for the show. Those who do may be featured in “What In Tar-Nation?!”  on the next edition of “The Carolina Football Hour,” which is Monday, Oct. 13.
