UNC in different State of mind after finishing special regular season in style

Posted Nov 28, 2015
“It was 35-7 at the end of the first,” said UNC linebacker Jeff Schoettmer, who wrote the score down after last year’s game and has kept it on his nightstand ever since. “That’s a good metaphor for how we wanted to come out and make a statement to them. They were talking crap to us before the game and we wanted to make a statement that we’re not the same team we were last year.” (Wilmington Star News)
