Art’s Angle: Another Classic

To paraphrase Taylor Swift: love is a game, and it ends when it ends. Saturday’s game ended with consequences in the Carolina-Duke football series that is now .500 over the last 10 and 14 years. The Tar Heels lost their last chance to keep a bowl bid alive in Bill Belichick’s college premiere year. It was a chippy, mistake-prone affair for UNC at Kenan Stadium. (Chapelboro.com)

What went wrong for UNC Football, Bill Belichick and what’s ahead?

The story of UNC's football season isn’t one game or one call. It’s the accumulation of small edges lost and big moments missed after massive offseason roster turnover and a highly paid head coach and staff trying to install new standards and a new identity. Bill Belichick and his staff have fallen well short of whatever identity he or Tar Heels fans expected. (Tar Heel Tribune)

Losing Record, Rivalry Loss Further Tarnish UNC Football's Disappointing Season

For the second straight season, UNC’s home finale concludes with a rival team leaving its mark on the Tar Heels’ field. Last season was the infamous flag-planting incident after NC State’s victory that led to a post-game fight on the field. This year, the loss to Duke and the celebration that followed further stains a messy start to Bill Belichick’s inaugural season. (Inside Carolina)

How has Drake Maye grown as a leader this season? Josh McDaniels explains what he’s seeing.

At the beginning of last season, the Patriots weren’t sure if they could play Drake Maye behind their offensive line. Fast forward to year two, and Maye is an MVP candidate. He’s not just a starter, he’s the guy. Quarterback is a position that requires leadership skills, and the Patriots wouldn’t be where they’re at without massive improvement from Maye. (Boston.com)

UNC Defense Struggles On Fourth Down Versus Duke

Given the typical nature of rivalry matchups, it’s not unusual for a handful of key plays to make the difference on the scoreboard. And for UNC, this was especially true. Because of the defense’s inability to execute when it mattered most, the unit was unable to do anything but watch as UNC’s bowl eligibility evaporated once Duke knelt in victory formation.

Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: UNC vs. Duke

The Tar Heels once again stepped on a rake on their final offensive possession, and Duke went on to victory formation with the game sealed. For the third time this season, just like the games against California and Virginia, the Tar Heels found ways to lose the game. In a season of what might have been, this one will particularly sting in how it all fell apart. (Tar Heel Tribune)

Senior day becomes flag day as penalties, other mistakes doom UNC Football

North Carolina’s small margin of error to beat Duke got thrown away in the form of repeated damaging penalty flags. Despite all that, the Tar Heels had a fourth-quarter lead and a shot at victory before the Blue Devils perfectly executed a fake field-goal attempt that led to the game-winning touchdown in a 32–25 victory Saturday at Kenan Stadium.
