Following last weekend’s narrow loss to the Clemson Tigers, North Carolina seemed positioned to come to Atlanta and mow down any team who came in between them and a victory. However, although the Jackets have not exactly had a promising start to their season, Tech appeared to hold off the North Carolina Tarheels for at least the first quarter before falling behind as the game continued. Between the injuries of key players and near constant swapping out of quarterbacks, the Jackets struggled to keep up and lost 38-22.
After the first quarter finished with an uneventful three points by the Heels and zero from the Jackets, the second quarter saw a bit more action in the way of scoring.
