Win But Not Without Gaps | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Tar Heel football pulled off a win, but the story behind the scoreboard is far from simple. The offense flashed moments of promise—quarterback threw for over 200 yards and outscored last year’s performance against the same foe—but struggled mightily on the ground (just over 3 yards per carry) and third downs (3-for-11). Defense looked strong, holding opponents to fewer points and yards than last season, adding a safety and three sacks—but remember, they faced a TCU team missing key players and starting a new QB. Special teams contributed with a safety and field goals, but also cost them with penalties, a missed long kick, and a big punt return that gave the opponent prime field position. It’s a win, sure—but the real question is: how much can this team grow before facing tougher competition? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
