The Golden Gophers’ offensive yardage was the fewest allowed by a North Carolina defense since holding Syracuse to 221 a year ago, and the second fewest since the Orange gained 202 yards in 31-6 Carolina win in 2020. "We were sound all day just communicating, talking about what we’re going to do up front," senior linebacker Power Echols said. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
