UNC vs. South Carolina: Game time, live stream, TV coverage

The South Carolina Gamecocks and North Carolina Tar Heels open the 2015 College Football season in Charlotte.

Welcome to the 2015 college football season! Week 1 kicks off with a rivalry game, as South Carolina and North Carolina square at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte.

The Tar Heels finished 2014 at 6-7, though they did have a late-season revival, winning four of five games after starting 2-4. Their offense, which put up a solid 33 points per game last year (No. 38 in FBS), leans heavily on senior signal-caller Marquise Wiliams. He'll face a South Carolina defense that's trying to rebound from a disappointing year. The Gamecocks ranked No. 92 in total defense last season. 

The Gamecocks hope sophomore Connor Mitch can fill the void at quarterback left by the graduation of Dylan Thompson, who broke the school's single-season passing record in 2014.
