Wake Forest took an early lead with a remarkable play. Receiver Carlos Hernandez scored the Demon Deacons’ first touchdown on a fumble recovery that turned into a 51-yard run. North Carolina managed to narrow the gap, making the score 14-9 in the third quarter, but they could not maintain that momentum.

After the game, North Carolina’s coach, Bill Belichick, expressed dissatisfaction with his team’s performance. He stated, “Just not good enough in any area,” and emphasized that his team has more potential than what was displayed that night.
Season Outlook
With a current record of 4-6, North Carolina has two remaining games in the season. To fulfill their hopes of bowl eligibility, they must secure victories in both contests against Duke and N.C. State, each currently holding a 5-5 record. Success in these matchups would allow the Tar Heels to extend their season.
