North Carolina vs. NC State: Winners, Losers, and Honorable Mentions

Posted Nov 27, 2023
Winners: UNC linebacker Cedrick Gray ended up with 17 tackles, including one for loss and half a sack. Losers: Gene Chizik. It’s safe to say that wholesale changes on the Tar Heels' defense are needed at a minimum. Honorable Mentions: Kicker Noah Burnette continued his remarkable comeback season going 2-2 in PATs including hitting a 45-yarder. (Tar Heel Blog)
