UNC vs. Western Carolina: How to Watch

Mack Brown coached just one season for Appalachian State, and that 1983 season was a good one for their Southern Conference rivals Western Carolina.

That year, the Catamounts were undefeated in conference play. WCU’s regular season was capped with a 41-15 victory over Brown’s Mountaineers.

Western had quite the run that season in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, finishing as the national runner-up after a championship game defeat versus Southern Illinois.

Finally, after 37 years, Brown will have a chance to avenge that loss to WCU.

Here are a few more notes about today’s game:

• Despite WCU competing on the gridiron since 1931, this will be just the third matchup between these North Carolina teams.
• Carolina won the first two games in the series in 2017 and 2018 by a combined score of 114-36
• This will be the last game for Western in 2020. The Southern Conference will play league games in the spring.
