Losing Record, Rivalry Loss Further Tarnish UNC Football's Disappointing Season

Posted Nov 23, 2025
For the second straight season, UNC’s home finale concludes with a rival team leaving its mark on the Tar Heels’ field. Last season was the infamous flag-planting incident after NC State’s victory that led to a post-game fight on the field. This year, the loss to Duke and the celebration that followed further stains a messy start to Bill Belichick’s inaugural season. (Inside Carolina)
