Bradley Leeb-USA TODAY Sports Here’s how you can watch the Tar Heels in action later tonight. It’s time to shake off what happened over the weekend, and prepare for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Tonight the #18 Tar Heels will face off against #10 Indiana in Bloomington, IN. This will be the 16th time that these two teams have met, with the Hoosiers currently leading the series 9-6. As far as playing in Bloomington goes, the Heels have only won two of their six visits, and are 2-2 in Assembly Hall. Fans should feel good knowing that Hubert Davis expects the entire roster to be available for this game. Armando Bacot and Leaky Black both experienced injuries during the Alabama game, but Davis announced yesterday that both players fully participated during practice. They will need all hands on deck, because this is only one of a couple of potential Quad 1 games left in the non-conference schedule before getting into ACC play, which doesn’t look like it will be as lucrative as previous seasons when it comes to quality of wins. Make a statement tonight, and they should at least stay in the conversation of getting a high seed in the NCAA Tournament this March. If you used up all of your vacation days already and weren’t able to make it out to Bloomington for the game, here is how you can watch/stream all of the action.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports It’s time to start asking the tough questions. The Tar Heels are just days away from squaring off against Clemson in the ACC championship game, and this game feels like it could be Phil Longo’s audition to keep his job as the offensive coordinator for the Tar Heels. Whether or not that is factual in the eyes of Mack Brown is unclear, but how in the world does an offense go from red hot to scoring just 17 points against Georgia Tech, and 24 points against NC State (in regulation)? For a team that scored 32 points in their loss against Notre Dame, isn’t this a huge red flag? While the defense hasn’t been perfect themselves, the recent struggles on the offensive side of the ball have transpired due to weird play-calling, the offensive line crumbling, and to be completely fair, a little bit of bad luck. The one saving grace going into this weekend is that Clemson’s secondary is not very good, which means it will be even more brutal if UNC isn’t able to capitalize. Talent has saved jobs long enough, and if things fall apart in the title game, I think it’s time to mix things up. This is a sentiment that was also shared in this week’s podcast episode of What in Tar Nation. Tanya Anderson (@Tanya__Anderson) and Julius Emanuel (@UNC_TarHeelNation) join me in discussing what happened in overtime against NC State, discuss the game against Clemson, and what changes need to be made going into the 2023 season.

While a bowl game win would be nice, this is a program that needs to finally get over the hump and win their first title since 1980. If the program isn’t built to at least win the ACC title despite landing some really talented recruits under Mack Brown, then really, what are we even doing here?
