Go Home Run Heels!
With Bryn Renner coming back I think UNC has a chance to win the Coastal Division. Yes, we lost several OL and DBs. But we have adequate replacements so that shouldn't hurt us too much.
"North Carolina fans could really not be any more pleased with how Year 1 of the Larry Fedora era in Chapel Hill went in 2012, other than the fact the Tar Heels couldn’t capitalize on their first-place tie in the ACC Coastal Division because of their NCAA-mandated postseason ban. The good news is that the ban was just for one season, so there are no such distractions to worry about for 2013. With All-ACC quarterback Bryn Renner and electric wide receiver Quinshad Davis returning, the offense should be just as explosive, if not more so, although there are question marks surrounding the offensive line and just how productive the running game will be with Giovani Bernard headed to the NFL. The defense returns six starters, but has plenty of room for improvement following last season’s up-and-down performance in the new 4-2-5 alignment. Despite these question marks, there’s no reason to not expect another winning season (and this time a bowl berth with it) from Fedora’s team this fall, especially considering there’s no Clemson or Florida State on Carolina’s ACC slate."

With Miami at home this year, the toughest game is at South Carolina in Game #1. I am predicting a 10-3 record and the last Chik Fil-A Bowl bid before the game becomes part of the playoff in 2014.
We have a lot to hang our hats on this coming season. And with some good rolls of the ball we could even win the ACC and go to the Orange Bowl.
