Bad play and misfortune at QB continue to hurt reeling Tar Heels

Posted Nov 3, 2018
North Carolina has been hurt by mediocre quarterback play all season. For the second time this year, a true freshman came off the bench, provided a spark and gave the Tar Heels hope — only to get hurt. Just like in the Virginia Tech game, Nathan Elliott — who was pulled in the first half — returned, endured boos and made it a competitive game as UNC rallied and then fell short.
