Tar Heels Complete Largest Comeback In School History, Beat GT 38-31

Posted Oct 4, 2015
With four minutes remaining in the first half, the UNC football team had just let Georgia Tech run the ball down the field for its third touchdown of the game on its third drive of the game. Down 21-0 at that time, all hope looked lost for Head Coach Larry Fedora and his team. But the Tar Heels stayed resilient, fighting all the way back to defeat the Yellow Jackets 38-31 on Saturday–the biggest comeback in team history, and its first win in Atlanta since 1997.
