UNC Football vs. California: Winners, Losers, & Honorable Mentions

Posted Oct 21, 2025
Winners: Tar Heel Defense. Cal quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is a legit player. He only passed for 209 yards, was sacked twice, and actually rushed for net negative yards, it’s fair to say UNC's defense did what they could to limit his damage. Losers: Bill Belichick: We’ve hit the same point with Belichick that we were at with Mack Brown last year. (Tar Heel Blog)
