Carolina will no doubt be disappointed to lose to a Georgia Tech team they should have beaten for the second year in a row. Mack Brown warned anyone who would listen that the last game before the end-of-season rivalry tilt against NC State was a trap game, but with the Coastal division already secured, UNC succumbed to fate, failing to score again after mounting a 17-0 lead.
Carolina finds itself with another opportunity to get right before their ACC Championship match-up with Clemson, this time against a down NC State. The Wolfpack are wounded, with their preseason Heisman hopeful quarterback Devin Leary out for the season and freshman MJ Morris—who impressed in wins over Virginia Tech and Wake Forest before coming back down to earth a little against Boston College—possibly out as well.
