Halloween. Charlottesville. Prime time. A mobile opposing QB. A 1-4 opponent trying to salvage their season. Every single bogeyman that lives to de-cleat UNC football all converged tonight. For the first half, the Tar Heels obliged by living up to their historical suckfest that typically follows any combination of those conditions.
One night after Season 2 debut of the beloved Mandalorian, the Heels donned their all-white Storm Trooper ensemble. For first 30 minutes of play, they also paid homage to the chronically inept foot soldiers by doing absolutely nothing to stop their opponent.
The game started well enough with a four-play, 75-yard touch drive.
