Tar Heels play another top team well but again fall short of historic win

Posted Nov 27, 2020
In North Carolina's second chance at a historic win in two seasons, the Tar Heels showed that they can play with anybody in the country. But UNC couldn’t get it done as No. 2 Notre Dame neutralized their offense better than anybody all season. With UNC forced to punt a season-high seven times, the Irish escaped from Kenan Stadium with a 31-17 victory. (Tar Heel Tribune)
