In an exciting kickoff to the college football season, Bill Belichick will lead the North Carolina Tar Heels against the TCU Horned Frogs, marking his collegiate coaching debut on Monday night at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. During his remarkable NFL career, Belichick compiled an impressive record of 302 wins and 165 losses, with his time at the New England Patriots seeing him achieve a 266-121 mark.

The game promises an exciting matchup as the Horned Frogs tied for fifth place in the Big 12 last season, while North Carolina struggled, tying for tenth in the ACC. The Tar Heels come into this season with a winning streak of three straight season openers, while TCU finished strong with four consecutive victories to end last season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and although North Carolina has a historic edge of 3-0 in their all-time series against TCU, the matchup has not occurred since 1997.

The latest odds place TCU as 3.5-point favorites, with a total over/under of 54.5 points. TCU’s starting quarterback, Josh Hoover, emerges as a notable Heisman candidate, while the Tar Heels will likely field former South Alabama quarterback, Gio Lopez, to lead their offense.
