## Resource

Despite low expectations for UNC football—predicting just four or five wins after two brutal seasons—the Tar Heels have a history of shocking triumphs. In 2019, true freshman Sam Howell dazzled with 38 touchdowns and 3,600 yards, rewriting the script. Tyler Hansbrough stunned fans as a freshman in basketball, averaging nearly 19 points and 7 rebounds, including a legendary 27-point, 10-rebound game against Duke. Danny Green’s NBA journey—from second-round draft bust to 11-year starter and three-time champion—proves resilience wins. And in women’s soccer, after 12 championship-less seasons, a new coach and a returning star led them to an at-large national title, with Olivia Thomas lighting up the offense.
