Plenty was said at halftime that sparked reset for UNC’s defense

Posted Aug 30, 2026
The UNC defense that emerged in the second half of the Tar Heels’ 15-10 victory over TCU on Saturday in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic seemed to have a stronger resolve, and it caused issues for the Horned Frogs. TCU went scoreless for the last 49 minutes of the game. "We just came out with more intensity and had a great halftime talk." (Tar Heel Tribune)
