Tar Heels Show Flashes, Not Consistency | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina Tar Heels edged out TCU 15-10 in Dublin, but the win masked a troubling performance split between two halves — defense rallied after an early leak, while offense fizzled after a strong first quarter. Head coach Bill Belichick stressed they’re far from peak form, with execution and coaching still lagging as they head into October. Offense struggled mightily, converting just 3 of 11 third downs and turning the ball over twice — both fumbles came from running backs — despite flashes of promise. Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. went 1-for-10 on contested passes, and the team scored only three points in the final three quarters. Ball security and consistency remain critical as conference play looms. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
