Top-ranked Clemson tops Tar Heels in ACC Championship

CHARLOTTE — Bank of America Stadium is no friend to the 2015 North Carolina football team.

The No. 8 Tar Heels began the year in Charlotte with a loss to South Carolina — their sole loss of the season until No. 1 Clemson ended UNC's 11-game winning streak in the same stadium with a 45-37 defeat in Saturday's ACC Championship game.

While it could easily be said the Tar Heels (11-2) beat themselves during that season-opening game against the Gamecocks, that argument becomes much more difficult when looking at the loss to the Tigers.

Quarterback Marquise Williams had a poor game passing the ball — finishing just 11-for-33 with 224 yards and a key interception that resulted in a 97-yard Clemson touchdown drive.
