THE BRANDON TATE SHOW

While it is up for debate as to whether or not McNeese State played great or Carolina played poorly, it is not up to debate as to why Carolina won the game. Brandon Tate won that game for the Heels. Final score was 35 to 27. No way it would have been in Carolina's favor without Tate.

With a new emphasis on running straight up the field instead of dancing side to side, Tate was terrific and clearly looked like the best player on the field.

While Carolina can't depend on that happening every game ( teams will probably kick away from him on punts,etc from now on ) they can be confident that they have a bona fide playmaker on offense.

Tate's 397 yards of offense is the 2nd highest total in ACC history.

Going forward, the Heels will need other players to step forward and play to Tate's level in order to beat the likes of Rutgers, Va Tech, etc. Hopefully, the players that step up will be on defense as there was not much on the defensive side of the ball to be excited about Saturday night.

Game 1 is in the books. Heels are 1-0 and have a lot to work on in practice to prepare for Rutgers.

Go Heels!
