Last weekend, the Carolina football team embarked on its longest road trip of the season.
More than 200 players, coaches, staff and family travelled to the Arizona desert to see the Tar Heels defeat Arizona State, 38-35, on Saturday.
The following is a behind-the-scenes photo essay on what life is like on the road with head coach John Bunting and the UNC football team.
Special thanks to Jeffrey Camarati for all photos.
With the sun setting at RDU Airport, Carolina began its 2,200 mile journey. The flight to Tempe was just over four hours.

When on the road, the Tar Heels generally have a light workout at the opposing stadium the afternoon or evening before a game. Coach Bunting specifically brought his team to Sun Devil Stadium for an early evening workout since Saturday's kickoff was at 7 p.m. MT.
