Josh Downs’ Confidence Carries UNC Football Past Virginia

Posted Nov 7, 2022
Midway through the third quarter in Charlottesville Saturday, Virginia took a 21-17 lead. The Cavaliers had the No. 17 Tar Heels on upset alert, prompting memories of 1996 in the minds of more seasoned Carolina fans. But on the UNC sideline, receiver Josh Downs exuded a quiet confidence. Or maybe not so quiet, if you take coach Mack Brown’s word for it. (Chapelboro.com)
