How to Watch North Carolina at Cal: Stream ACC College Football Live, TV Channel

Max Johnson and UNC battle Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele and Cal as two Atlantic Coast Conference teams clash in college football on Saturday.

The UNC Tar Heels will head on the road in Week 8 of the college football season to take on the Cal Golden Bears in a battle of Atlantic Coast Conference football teams at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California. The Tar Heels have arguably been the biggest disappointment in college football this season. After hiring Bill Belichick, the team was destined to do something great, only to roll over. They are just 2-3 this season, coming off their second bye week in the last three weeks. This game will be their second game in the last 30 calendar days because of those two idle weeks.
