What’s been ‘impressive’ to Bill Belichick in UNC football’s recent stretch?

CHAPEL HILL — UNC football has been without Thad Dixon , one of the Tar Heels ’ captains and top players, for the last three games.

Dealing with an “internal” injury he suffered in the Clemson game on Oct. 4, Dixon is working his way to getting back on the field. During his weekly press conference on Nov. 4, UNC coach Bill Belichick said Dixon is “definitely getting closer” to a return and “is more active than he’s been” in recent weeks.
