UNC finalized its deal with LSU to open the 2010 football season in Atlanta in the Chik-fil-A Kickoff.
The Tar Heels had to move their previously scheduled game with South Carolina to accommodate the national showcase game. They will open the 2013 season against the Gamecocks in Columbia, S.C.
Clemson and Virginia Tech have played in the first two Chik-fil-A openers. N.C. State is scheduled to open the 2012 season in Atlanta against Tennessee.
LSU represents a jump in competition for the Heels, who have opened with Division I-AA opponents in each of coach Butch Davis' first three seasons. LSU, a two-time BCS champion, is ranked No. 9 in this week's top 25.

Whatever happened to our series with TN?
