Air Raid strikes as North Carolina overtakes South Carolina for 24-20 season-opening finish
Posted Sep 1, 2019
North Carolina offensive coordinator Phil Longo’s Air Raid offense, with true-freshman Sam Howell deftly at the controls, was run conservatively in the first half. It got unleashed in the second half, though, as the Tar Heels put together two 95-yard-plus scoring drives to lead a come-from-behind 24–20 opening-game victory over South Carolina.
