UNC scored a touchdown on their first drive of the ACC Championship Game with just under nine minutes remaining in the first quarter. Unfortunately, it was pretty much all downhill from there for the guys in light blue, as they dropped the game 39-10 to the Clemson Tigers.
The 78-yard drive that ended with Drake Maye rushing into the end zone for a score felt like a promising omen for Carolina before the tables quickly turned. They seemed to turn, at least for the most part, when Clemson coach Dabo Swinney benched DJ Uiagalelei for Cade Klubnik. Uiagalelei started the game 2-5 after also struggling mightily against South Carolina last week.
