The UNC Football program earned a big win on Saturday, coming from behind to beat Virginia at home to move to 2-1 on the year. UNC responded after the Cavaliers scored 21 second-quarter points to take a 28-24 lead at halftime.
But Mack Brown’s team answered the call by out-scoring the Hoos 21-3 in the third quarter, dominating on defense and offense to eventually win the game. And for their efforts, four Tar Heels earned Atlantic Coast Conference honors for the week.
Quarterback Sam Howell, running back Ty Chandler, wide receiver Josh Downs and offensive lineman Marcus McKethan earned ACC Player of the Week honors for their respected positions.
