Whew. It wasn’t pretty, but the Jackets did enough to escape Chapel Hill with a 38-28 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday. The win gives the Jackets their fourth victory in five games, and they now have a 72% chance of becoming bowl eligible according to the S&P+ Rankings. Some stats from Saturday’s box score seemingly indicate a strong offensive showing, with the Jackets racking up 565 yards of total offense while gaining 6.2 yards per carry. On the other hand, the box score also reminds us that Tech fumbled three times, finished just 4-of-12 on 3rd down conversions, and failed on two 4th down attempts.
