Complete coverage of North Carolina Tar Heels Football.

UNC's defense delivered the performance Bill Belichick has been waiting for

Sometimes the box score doesn't tell the story. Pitt finished with 369 total yards compared to UNC's 269.

They found a way to win. (Keeping It Heel)

Art’s Angle: Finding A Way

The Tar Heels are showing signs of the kinds of defenses Bill Belichick had with the New England Patriots. Pittsburgh was ranked among the top three rushing teams in college football and started that way in the first half, but the Tar Heels held the Panthers to 39 yards on the ground in the second half when they took control of the game and won 21-17.
