Fortin throws good fortune UNC’s way, but can’t avoid another heartbreaking finish for the Tar Heels

Posted Nov 25, 2018
The wait for the return of promising true-freshman quarterback Cade Fortin finally ended Saturday. The wait for one of his receivers to catch an open-field pass didn’t end until the second half. Once that happened, on a 37-yard touchdown pass to Beau Corrales, North Carolina’s offense started to click. But it didn’t click enough late with a chance to put the game away.
