Strong second half performances must've been the theme for homecoming weekend in Chapel Hill.

Following the men's basketball program's second half dominance over Kansas, the UNC football program found a way to get the job over their final two quarters of play, securing a victory over Stanford.

The first half was an absolute snooze fest. North Carolina put three points on the board with 5:49 remaining in the first quarter, while no other points would be scored in the first half until Stanford tied the score up at 3 just before the half.
