Heels' offense, defense, special teams add up to a Fedora hat trick

Posted Sep 21, 2015
Larry Fedora, UNC, Grade: A. It’s been a long time since the Tar Heels had a more impressive performance in a game against an Autonomy-5 non-league opponent than the 48-14 rout of Illinois. After struggling on the game’s first drive, the defense recovered effectively. Marquise Williams was an offensive catalyst throughout and the special teams were out of sight. (WRAL Sports Fan)
