College football's wild Week 0, with amended Bill Belichick expectations

Week 0 turned out to be more like “Week 0.5” after multiple nights of NCAA football, and the biggest early takeaway centered on Bill Belichick’s second set of Tar Heels. UNC beat TCU 15-10 in Ireland, a roughly 40-point improvement from last year, while losing both fumbles on a wet field yet still outgaining the Frogs 322-281. The newsletter credits a less dysfunctional offense under new coordinator Bobby Petrino and notes TCU’s roster isn’t the same, with starting QB Josh Hoover now at Indiana. Still, the piece stresses expectations may rise into the 6-6 range, with major road ACC tests ahead.
