The 1948 North Carolina Tar Heels football team represented the University of North Carolina during the 1948 college football season. The Tar Heels were led by sixth-year head coach Carl Snavely and played their home games at Kenan Memorial Stadium. The team finished the regular season undefeated with a record of 9–0–1, and outscored their opponents 261–94.[1] North Carolina was ranked third in the final AP Poll of the season (conducted before bowl season), which is to date the highest finish in school history.[2] They were invited to the 1949 Sugar Bowl, where they lost to Big 7 Conference champion Oklahoma.
Halfback Charlie Justice was a consensus first-team All-American, and finished second in the voting for the Heisman Trophy.[3] He led the team in rushing, passing, and punting, with 766 rushing yards, 854 passing yards, and 20 total touchdowns.[3] End Art Weiner was also named an All-American, including first-team by the Football Writers Association of America and the New York Sun.[4]
