UNC Football: Tar Heels cant hold on to lead in loss at Syracuse

This is becoming very frustrating.

A week after the North Carolina Tar Heels couldn’t hold a lead and complete the upset over Virginia Tech at home, they squander another chance against an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent on the road. At this point, they are just finding different ways to lose the games.

Much like last week’s loss to the Hokies, UNC had the lead late in the fourth quarter but just couldn’t hold on. Syracuse took advantage of multiple opportunities including tying the game late to send it to overtime. From there, the Orange scored two touchdowns to win it 40-37 and had UNC their fifth loss of the season.
