Two days removed from North Carolina's 24-18 defeat against Wake Forest, Mack Brown asked his players why they lost when they gathered Sunday evening.
Their answer matched his from after the game.
"I asked the older guys and in every case, they said, 'Coach, we didn't have the same passion to start the game that we did against South Carolina and Miami,'" Brown told reporters on Monday. "And I thought that was true. So, I was glad they realized that. That's our job as coaches and their jobs as players to create an edge every week and make sure they're passionate about it and ready to go.
