UNC's Defense Holds Up, But Offense Can’t Capitalize In Overtime Loss To Virginia

Posted Oct 25, 2025
Carolina played in another tight one Saturday, and the Tar Heels came inches away from victory. UNC (2-5, 0-3 ACC) suffered a narrow defeat to No. 16 Virginia (7-1, 4-0 ACC) 17-16 on Saturday in overtime, as a two-point conversion play for Benjamin Hall left the running back just shy of the endzone. Tied at 10 entering the fourth, both defenses stood tall. (Inside Carolina)
