Voice of the Tar Heels Jones Angell joins Aaron to discuss UNC football’s upcoming game at Clemson – a game the Heels are feeling optimistic about, even though they haven’t won in Death Valley since 2001. That’s because UNC’s been playing well through two games, especially on defense (despite some off-field tumult), while Clemson has struggled through its first two games – and they’ll be starting a freshman quarterback on Saturday.
