A ‘maturing’ UNC football team: Tar Heels have shown they can win close this season

Posted Oct 11, 2022
North Carolina’s 5-1 record looks a lot prettier than the details of how it has gotten to it. But the Tar Heels are starting to appreciate even the ugly parts and it’s becoming their identity. This may be the most resilient team UNC coach Mack Brown has had since returning to Carolina in 2019. UNC is 3-0 this season in games decided by a touchdown or less. (AOL.com)
