Posted Nov 5, 2018
In one of the best performances by a UNC defender in recent memory, Cole Holcomb notched 22 tackles, eight more than his previous career high, set against Virginia in 2017. The 22 tackles were also the most by a Tar Heel in a regular-season game since Durrell Mapp had 23 at N.C. State in 2007. Donnie Miles recorded 22 tackles in the 2015 Russell Athletic Bowl.
