TCU’s Irish Upset Falls Apart | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

TCU’s dream season opener in Dublin turned into a nightmare as underdogs North Carolina stunned the heavy favorites with a 15-10 upset. The game was neck-and-neck early, but UNC sealed it with a safety and field goal while TCU struggled mightily—going just 1-for-5 on third downs and 1-for-4 in the red zone. Coach Sonny Dykes even gambled on touchdowns instead of field goals, and his frustration boiled over when ACC officials (UNC’s home turf) handed TCU 11 penalties for 89 yards. “I wish they didn’t have ACC officials,” Dykes snapped. With two weeks to lick their wounds before facing Grambling, TCU’s confidence is bruised—but UNC, now riding high, gets a breather before tackling Clemson and Notre Dame.
