Teammates Pick Josh Downs Up as He Looks to Bounce Back in Rivalry Matchup

Posted Nov 23, 2022
The lasting image from UNC's 21-17 loss to Georgia Tech was Josh Downs' dropped pass in the end zone on 4th and 11 with 4:10 left in the game. The score would have put UNC up 24-21 late in the fourth quarter. If Downs makes the catch, and the UNC defenses holds, the result changes and the narrative for UNC's season is a lot different than it is today. (Inside Carolina)
