I have always been a firm believer that if you have nothing to play for near the end of the season, it is really easy to get demolished by teams that are playing for something. Sure, pride is something that motivates people, but that only gets you so far. I know I am not the only one that believes this, and I also know that pride wasn’t nearly enough to save the Tar Heels from getting pummeled by Boston College this afternoon.
The day started off innocently enough. Boston College immediately marched down the field to get into scoring position, but ultimately ended up settling for a field goal.
