Welp.
For the first 28 minutes on Saturday night, UNC nursed a lead against the #1 team in the country and kept the ever-so-faint glimmer of a berth in college football's final four. Then UNC had its two biggest derps of the game, an 18-second 3-and-out and a turnover at the Clemson 3-yard line, both of which resulted in Tiger touchdowns and irrevocably flipped the game out of Carolina's hands.
The Tar Heels kept fighting and just when it seemed Clemson would cruise to the ACC championship, UNC made a run to cut it to one score and had two legitimate shots at recovering an onside kick that would have given Carolina a chance to possibly tie the game.
