UNC Football Falls Short at Cal as Late Fumble Turns Crushing

Posted Oct 18, 2025
It was another agonizing result for UNC Football. The Tar Heels fell to California 21-18 on Friday night in ACC football at Memorial Stadium, and suffered their third straight loss. Nathan Leacock’s lost fumble at the goal line with 3:48 remaining in the game, when the receiver was poised to score inches shy of the end zone and vault UNC ahead, proved crushing.
