What a drive to get the Bill Belichick era underway!
All it took was seven plays for the UNC football program to march 83 yards down the field for its first touchdown of the 2025 season.
North Carolina came out of the gate with a heavy emphasis on the run game. After picking up a pair of first downs, Belichick let his new quarterback, Gio Lopez, air it out, and the results were immediate.
