When the fourth quarter rolled around against Syracuse, the consistent performance by the defense and the marked improvement by the offense on Saturday had the Tar Heels feeling good about the eventual 31-6 victory.
However, there is still a lot of work to do for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Outside of the play of the offensive line, the biggest concern is with special teams.
And it is not just one facet of the third phase of the UNC game that needs help. There were errors and mistakes with kicking, punt returns, and punt coverage.
