New North Carolina coach Bill Belichick got a good look at what he's set to inherit in Chapel Hill on Saturday. UNC entered its Fenway Bowl matchup against UConn as a 2.5-point favorite under interim head coach Freddie Kitchens but fell into a 20-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter and suffered its fifth straight bowl loss with a 27-14 defeat in Boston.

Bill Belichick is not coaching North Carolina during the Fenway Bowl even though he was named as the university's new head coach earlier this month.

"This game will show some of the younger players, and some players we have, what they can do next year," said UNC linebacker Amare Campbell..
