UNC's quarterback situation is now uncertain following an injury to Gio Lopez. On fourth-and-one from their own 42-yard line, Lopez lunged for a first down. After emerging from the pile near the marker, he remained on the ground with 6:45 left in the third quarter. While his exact injury status remains unknown, Lopez flew home with the team Saturday.
