UNC-East Tennessee in weather delay in second half.
Tennessee · North Carolina · TCUDemon June had seven carries for 33 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. After knocking off TCU in Ireland in the opener two weeks ago, this has been a nice follow-up for Belichick.
Granted, it wasn’t perfect by any means, but Belichick’s defense and strings of OC Bobby Petrino’s offense certainly showed signs that this is a completely different UNC squad to open the season. But the Tar Heels have a much better chance at the postseason than previously thought.
