North Carolina secures its first victory of the Bill Belichick era

The UNC football program picked up its first win of the 2025 (and also the first of Bill Belichick's college coaching career), as they defeated the Charlotte 49ers by a score of 20-3.

We'd be lying to you if we said it was pretty. Essentially nothing (from the weather to the play on the field) was that. However, it's a step in the right direction for the Tar Heels, especially following their ugly season opening loss to TCU that occurred just five days prior.

The game was delayed due to weather, but the half hour start time difference didn't matter for the record 19,233 people who made their way to Jerry Richardson Stadium for this highly-anticipated contest.
