UNC Football 6-1 after beating Duke by inches

Posted Oct 19, 2022
In 2021, Mack Brown bemoaned the fact that the Tar Heels could not win close games or road games. This season the Tar Heels are doing both. They’re 4-0 on the road, with all those wins coming by a touchdown or less. There is still plenty of football to play, but at UNC, starting with six wins in the first seven games historically augurs well for a strong finish. (WRAL Sports Fan)
