If Dorothy cf Oz fame was correct in believing there
is no place like home. North Carolina's 19C0 football
tczrn should like this year's schedule.
For the first time in history, Carolina will play seven
games in Kenan Stadium. Of these, four will be Atlantic
Coast Conference tames. The Heels will face ACC foes
Maryland, N.C. State, Virginia and Duke in Kenan,
with East Carolina,' Furman and". Georgia Tech the
new ACC member not yet eligible for the league's
fcatball crown as the other home opponents.
Carolina visits Clemson and Wake Forest for
conference games and plays rqH'ames against Texas
Tc:h and powerhouse Oklah: in non-conference
play. -
Here is a look at Tar Heel opponents for 1930:
FURMAN Carolina opens with Furman Sept 6 in
Kenan Stadium. The Paladins were 5-6 in 1979, but all
1 1 starters return on defense and the Paladins look solid
there.
Under third-year coach Dick Sheridan, Furman runs
from the I-formation and will be led by tailback Mike
Glenn, who led the team in rushing with 857 yards last
season. Quarterback Tim Sorrel is, who threw seven TD
passes last year, also returns.
The weak spot probably will be the offensive line,
where the Paladins lost four starters. The defensive line,
anchored by tackle Kevin Morgan, is a strong one.
TEXAS TECH The Tar Heels travel to Lubbock,
Texas, for a night game oh the Jones Stadium Astroturf
Sept. 13. The Red Raiders were 3-6-2 in the Southwest
Conference in 1979.
Like Furman, Texas Tech's strength is defense. The
Raiders have six starters returning there, including All
SWC candidate Ted Watts at free safety and nose guard
- Gabriel Rivera.
Coach Rex Dockery will have quarterback Ron
Reeves for the season, but star fullback James Hadnot
was among the five offensive starters who graduated.
The offense will be inexperienced, so Carolina may be
fortunate to have the Red Raiders on the schedule early
in the season.
MARYLAND The Terrapins come to Kenan
Stadium Sept. 27 for what many feel will be the game
that decides the ACC title. ?
Maryland, 7-4 last season, was hit by a rash of
injuries, and the return of healthy Lloyd Burruss and
r
Van Hern will h:!p

The. entire
.offensive line from
1979 has
hSLS tO fcj til? IS12JCT
concern for Coach .
Jerry Claiborne.
The Maryland
attack will be paced
Charlie Vysocki
and place-kicker
Dale Castro, who
has made several preseason All-America teams.
GEORGIA TECH New coach Eill Curry will bring
his young Yellow Jackets to Chapel Hill Oct. 4. Tech
was 4-6-1 against one of college football's most difficult
and demanding schedules in 1979. , ,
Experience is thin on the Georgia Tech team, with six
sophomores expected to start on offense. End Rick
Olive and linebacker Lance Skelton top the list of seven
returning starters on defense.
WAKE FOREST The 1979 Deacons, who finished
8-4, were the Cinderella team in college football.
Carolina will play them in Groves Stadium in Winston--Salem
Oct. II. ' -; ';:
The major reason for Wake's success under coach
John Mackovic last season was the play of All-ACC
quarterback and Player of the Year Jay Vcnuto. He
returns, as does All-ACC receiver Wayne Daumgardner.
But-missing from the explosive offense cf 1979 are
halfback James McDougald and fullback Albert Kirby.
The Deacons have eight starters returning on defense;
but nose guard James Parker was among the graduating
class. - :'-v v - - .
N.C. STATE The Wolfpack win come to Kenan
Stadium October 18 for the 70th renewal of the rivalry
with the Tar Heels.
State has undergone sweeping changes since winning
the ACC title and finishing with a 7-4 record in 1979.
The new coach is Monte Kif fin, and Kiffm alone will
bring a let of excitement to the State program.
' Lcasas were severe from. 1979. Gone are Outlar.d
Trophy v,inr.:r Jim Ritcher, quarterback Scctt Smith
and fullback Lilly' Ray Viekers. In fact, the Pack will
have only nine cf 22 starters back. Among the best will
be ccrnerback Donnie LeGrande and tight end Lin
Dawson, 1
EAST CAROLINA East Carolina almost beat
Carolina last season in Kenan Stadium, and the Pirates
weald love nothing more than to win in Kenan on Oct.
25. : . . '
The Pirates are a lot like N.C. State in that they have
a new coach and a lot of new faces in the starting lineup.
Hew coach Ed Emory will! have halfback Anthony
'Collins and fullback Theodore Sutton returning, but
star Quarterback Leander Green has graduated.
The Pirates were 7-3-1 last year, and a quick young
defense might be a major factor in a similarly succesful
OKLAHOMA It is enough to say that although
Oklahoma lc:t Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims,
the Socners will again be a powerhouse. The Tar Heels
travel to Norman, Okla., on Nov. 1.
Coach Barry Switzer will have nine starters back from
: :the 11-1 Socners, who won the 1979 Orange Bowl 24-7
over Florida State. Among thc:e are quarterback J.'C.
Watts and halfback " " :
David Overstreet. ." t .
Only three
" starters- come back ;
on defense, but the . f
Socners are so deep ,
that last year's

Bowl in 1979. OU's Barry Switzer
Danny Ford lost quarterback Billy Lott and running
backs Marvin Sims and Lester Brown, but Chuck
McSwain is around to bolster the running game. Seven
starters are back cn defense.
Coming just a week after the big game at Oklahoma,
this game comes at a very crucial time of the year as far
as bowl consideration and the ACC standings are
concerned.
VIRGINIA The Cavaliers were 6-5 last year and
Wahoo fans fed their team should be improved in many
areas this year.' Virginia will visit Kenan Stadium Nov.
15.
Running back Tommy Vigorito is the top returnee on
offense, with quarterback Todd Kirtley back to run the
show. Greg Taylor, fullback last year, has been moved
to fill a hole at wide receiver. The Cavaliers also return
the entire starting offensive line from 1979.
Six starters return on a defensive unit that held every
opponent except one under 20 points last season.
DUKE The Blue Devils of coach Red Wilson were
2-8-1 last year and the coaching staff has decided to
install a multiple offensive set to open up the Duke
attack a little in 19S0. Duke comes to Kenan Stadium in
the final regular season game for both teams Nov. 22.
Duke will welcome back Cedric Jones and Ron
Frederick as receivers on offense and six of the starting
front seven on defense from 1979.
. Ohio State is considered by most of the leading
football publications as the favorite to be No. 1 in
college football this season.
The Buckeyes are ranked first in the polls by Football
News, Street & Smith, Athalon, Playboy and Football
Illustrated. Gams Plan and Goal Post rank the
Pittsburgh Panthers at the top of their preseason polls.
North Carolina, picked as the favorite to win the
Atlantic Coast Conference title in a preseason poll of
the league's coaches, is ranked as high as seventh in the
nation..
Playboy picks Carolina No. 7, while Street & Smith
and Football Illustrated have the Tar Heels ranked 10th.
Game Plan and Football News have Carolina at No. 14
and Goal Post has the Tar Heels at No. 17. Carolina is
not ranked in the Athalon poll.

From staff and wire reports
HICKORY "A mixup in high
school grades" will prevent Hickory
High school star Al Young from
attending UNC this fall.
UNC Athletic Director John
Swofford would not comment
directly on Young's case, but said,
"In general terms, in order for an
athlete td receive a grant-in-aid, that

Fork Union (Va.) Military
Academy. The decision came after
Young learned he had not met high
school grade requirements and
therefore could not play any sport at
the University.
Considered among the nation's
top high school football players in
1979, Young signed a football grant-in-aid
with Carolina last spring. He
had also reportedly received
assurances from basketball coach
Dean Smith he would be w elcome to
try basketball, also. Young had
played in both the 1979 Shrine Bowl
football and the 19S0 N.C. Coaches

"I was stunned," Young said.
"At first, I didn't hardly,
understand when my high school
said I didn't have a 2.0 I didn't
know, jf thought I had a 2.3
average'
YoungTsaid the mixup involved
two courses which he passed but
which weren't computed as part of
his high School grade average.
Young said he thought the
courses-i-child development and
weight training would have
counted. "Nobody ever told me
they wouldn't count," Young said.
"I wouldn't have taken them if I
had known."
