Keeping morale high
After suffering a 22-19 loss against Virginia Tech on Oct. 13, the Tar Heels lost by three points for the second straight game Saturday. The last time they lost back-to-back games by three points or fewer in consecutive weeks was in 2007, when they fell 34-31 at East Carolina and 22-20 against Virginia.
