It hasn’t been pretty. At all. Yet, when the clock hit 0:00 on Saturday, the Tar Heels strutted off the former Turner Field in Atlanta winning their third straight, heading into their scheduled off week ready to recharge, get healthy, and game plan against a reeling Notre Dame team that couldn’t do what the Tar Heels did: beat someone from the Sun Belt.
In fact the Tar Heels have done that twice. On the road. On a day when the Sun Belt woke up and chose violence, it makes Carolina’s 2-0 record on the road against App State and Georgia State that more impressive, even if it was kinda ugly in how they got there.
