UNC returns home for the first time this season to take on James Madison

Finally, the North Carolina Tar Heels return to Kenan Memorial Stadium for some football.

After spending the first two weeks on the road, one in Atlanta and one in Illinois, the Tar Heels are back home for week three of the college football season. On Saturday, the Tar Heels will host the James Madison Dukes as the prepare for their ACC schedule to kick in the week after.

The Tar Heels got their first win of the season in week two, coming back from a 14-10 deficit to beat the Illini.

Overall, UNC played a lot better in their week two win as they showed improvements both offensive and defensively.

Now they look to gain some momentum before starting the conference part of the schedule and keep a streak alive.

The Tar Heels have won seven-straight games at home, dating back to 2014. But it’s the first time they will play at home since they beat Miami on November 14.

The Dukes enter the season at 2-0 with wins over Morehead State and Central Connecticut to open up their schedule. They are currently ranked No. 8 in the latest FCS poll. As an FCS team, they usually play one Division I school a season with UNC being that opponent in 2016.

Last year, the Dukes beat SMU 48-45 as they beat a Division I school.
