Tar Heels Lean on Explosive Passing Game, Dynamic Receiver Duo

Posted Oct 30, 2022
Heading into the second half against Pittsburgh, Mack Brown and the UNC staff made a decision: abandon the run, focus on the passing game, and get the ball to Josh Downs. "I told them at halftime, 'Forget it. Go do what we need to do to win the game. Let's not waste plays running the ball if they've got too many in the box,'" Brown said after the game.
