In a season that has been filled with so many losses, it was, admittedly, nice to see the Tar Heels emerge with a win in today’s game. They were clearly the better of the two teams on the field at Kenan Stadium on Saturday afternoon, roughing up the Catamounts in every quarter of the game.
Western Carolina got on the board first when quarterback Tyrie Adams rushed in from one yard out. He finished the day with 290 passing yards and 104 rushing yards with two touchdowns. UNC’s quarterback, Nathan Elliott, threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, as well as two interceptions, before being replaced before halftime by Manny Miles.
