It's a harsh reminder of how sports are sometimes determined by a few inches (or yards).

In arguably the Tar Heels best overall performance of the season (especially on the defensive side of the football), missed opportunities hurt them in their pursuit of their first Power 5 victory of the Bill Belichick era.
