The North Carolina football team entered Saturday’s game with a chance to break an 18-year drought.
After storming back to defeat Georgia Tech two weeks ago, the Tar Heels took the field on Saturday against Wake Forest in search of their first 2-0 ACC start since 1997.
UNC failed to replicate its success against the Yellow jackets in the first quarter. But behind a 29-point outburst in the second quarter, the Tar Heels (5-1, 2-0 ACC) rode their momentum to a 50-14 win over the Demon Deacons at Kenan Stadium.
UNC’s first two drives concluded on interceptions by quarterback Marquise Williams.
