Both Georgia State and North Carolina lost their 2021 season openers, but the story of the games were drastically different. Georgia State was dominated by Army’s time-controlling offense and nothing-given defense while UNC held ACC rival Virginia Tech to just 17 points but just could not get the offense to click.
The Tar Heels were ranked tenth in the preseason AP Poll but fell to 24th after their loss.
