Look, after generations of getting close to the top only to stumble, Carolina Football fans are right to be done with trying to take moral victories. It’s tough to continually get punched in the...we’ll say stomach...repeatedly and try to find something good to say about a loss against the number two team in the country, but here we are. After a great first half, the Irish took over in the second. Despite a pretty valiant defensive effort, the Tar Heels fell at home on Black Friday 31-17.
The great thing about this post is that it forces us to look at both the good and the bad, so we can find the silver linings in the game while still pointing out the miles the Tar Heels have to climb to hope to be at the level of a Notre Dame or Clemson.
