UNC Football Spring Game is April 16

The Spring Game for the 2016 UNC football team will be April 16 at 3 PM.

Admission will be free.

The Carolina football team finished the 2015 season with a record of 11-3.  The Tar Heels won the Coastal Division of the ACC and played in the Russell Athletic Bowl.  The team finished No. 15 in both Top 25 polls.

Seven starters will return to an offense that set numerous records in 2015.  Six starters return on defense.

The team did not play a spring game in 2015 because of construction of a storm water drain pipe.

The UNC football team added 19 recruits on National Signing Day.  Seven other football commits already enrolled at the school in January.  The 26 scholarships are the most available to a team.  It was Larry Fedora’s first full recruiting class in his five-year tenure at UNC.

Coach Fedora will come into the 2016 season fresh off of a contract extension.

The 2016 season begins for the UNC football team on Saturday, September 3.  The Tar Heels will travel to the Georgia Dome in Atlanta to take on the Georgia Bulldogs in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.  The first home game of the 2016 season will be on Saturday, September 17 against James Madison.
