Mack Brown sees growing confidence in Tar Heel players

Posted Nov 20, 2024
UNC Football has reeled off three straight wins, and coach Mack Brown thinks his team is starting to learn how to win. "The guys are excited. They’re practicing hard. I think it’s more confidence that they know what they have to do to win. We’re playing better defense, forcing turnovers, we’re kicking it better, so the offense doesn’t have to score 40 points."
