Were we WRONG about Bill Belichick and North Carolina? Tar Heels beat TCU in Ireland
North Carolina came to Ireland as a more-than-a-touchdown underdog and left with a 15-10 win against TCU.
QB Billy Edwards Jr. looked very comfortable in Bobby Petrino's offense, and the Tar Heels shut down Harvard transfer Jaden Craig and TCU's offense for the final three quarters.
Could year two for Bill Belichick be significantly better than year one?

Once Andy & Ari run through Andy’s prediction, the fellas ponder who this year’s version of Penn State & Clemson will be for the upcoming season. With plenty of teams returning talent, is there a clear and obvious answer? Is retention an over-hyped statistic? Watch here as Andy & Ari ponder.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Akron football program ignited social media. With a promotion for season ticket holders to call the plays for the first offensive drive at the home opener vs Robert Morris, is this a good idea from the Zips football program? Andy & Ari dive into this bizarre situation out of the MAC here.
To close the show, Oregon QB Dylan Raiola had some pointed comments about his former school in Nebraska. Transferring from the starting role in Lincoln to the backup position in Eugene, were these comments on his old school warranted? Andy & Ari dive into what the former Huskers QB said.

We believe everything is earned, not given. And when we fall short, we say, 'We fell short.' We don't cry a river, whine, and complain. That's why we're the best."
