UNC opens 2-0 with 35-3 domination of ETSU

North Carolina followed its TCU upset with a 35-3 home-opening win over East Tennessee State on Sept. 12. Demon June scored three touchdowns, Billy Edwards Jr. was efficient and turnover-free, and the defense produced four sacks and two takeaways. The result reinforces early progress, but Clemson will provide the first major test.
