At the end of the day, North Carolina football added to their win column on Saturday, and that’s truly what matters. It took two overtimes, but the Tar Heels came away with a win over Appalachian State, squeaking out a 40-34 victory. It wasn’t the prettiest of wins, with the defense taking a step back from last week. Still, thanks in part to a very impressive performance from Omarion Hampton, Carolina were still eventually able to come up with the win.
While that was happening, there were some other big games going on elsewhere in Week 2 of the college football season.
