UNC goes from dominating Clemson to collapsing

Posted Sep 19, 2026
Just when 25 years of Death Valley frustration for North Carolina appeared to be over after a dominant start, that was followed by an epic collapse. Clemson rallied after a nearly 2 1/2-hour rain delay to hand UNC a 28-20 loss Saturday at Memorial Stadium in the ACC opener for both teams, giving the Tar Heels their eighth consecutive loss in the series.
