Tar Heels can’t overcome their own mistakes in loss at UVa

Posted Oct 31, 2020
North Carolina outgained Virginia by more than 100 yards and scored 41 points Saturday, but the Cavaliers countered a 443-yard, four-touchdown performance by Tar Heels quarterback Sam Howell to score four unanswered touchdowns and turn a seven-point deficit into a three-score lead. Two of those touchdowns came as a result of UNC turnovers. (North State Journal)
