Fedora praises Tar Heels for grit in comeback win

Posted Sep 24, 2016
The North Carolina Tar Heels had plenty of opportunities to panic Saturday--the safety, the fumble, the 10-point deficit heading into the fourth. If the comeback is any indication, the players shut out doubt and kept pressing forward. UNC head coach Larry Fedora credited his players on their grit and composure, which was an important ingredient in the comeback. (Carolina Blue)
