Riverboat Mack? UNC's Brown adopts go-for-it mentality on fourth down

Posted Oct 6, 2022
UNC football coach Mack Brown, with a quarterback and an offense putting up video game numbers, has adopted a gamer's mindset to the sport's most vexing decision. "I'm just going to go for fourth downs," Brown said after his Tar Heels converted all three of their tries in a 41-10 rout of Virginia Tech. Through five games, Brown has been true to his word.
