Belichick says UNC needs to overcome emotions, execute with discipline to win at N.C. State

Maye overcomes tough start to throw for career-high 294 yards, extend Pats’ streak to nine

Drake Maye said his game Sunday was about battling back from adversity. He threw for a career-high 294 yards and a touchdown in New England’s 26–20 come-from-behind win over Cincinnati to extend the Patriots’ win streak to nine. But his day started with an interception that was returned for a touchdown on the opening drive, the first pick-six of his career.

What went wrong for UNC, Belichick and what’s ahead?

CHAPEL HILL — The story of North Carolina’s football season isn’t one game or one call. It’s the accumulation of small edges lost and big moments missed, all after a massive offseason roster turnover and a highly paid head coach and staff trying to install new standards and a new identity. Coach Bill Belichick and his staff have fallen well short of whatever identity he or Tar Heels fans expected.

Good, Bad and Ugly Report: Duke

UNC gets record kick, but can’t kick-start red-zone offense

WINSTON-SALEM — When your offense can’t find the end zone, kicking field goals can only get you so far, even if that includes a school record. Wake Forest made enough big plays and every promising UNC drive sputtered as the Demon Deacons ended a four-game losing streak against the Tar Heels with a 28–12 win Saturday night at Allegacy Stadium.

UNC’s defense reset, found its edge through trust and relentless pressure

CHAPEL HILL — After the Clemson loss, North Carolina’s defense faced a reality check. The open date that followed wasn’t just a breather; it was a turning point. The results of the transformation have been evident in the last three games, including Saturday’s 20–15 home victory over Stanford.

Nine sacks, no quit: Defense powers Heels to second straight win

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina’s defense keeps getting better, just in time for the Tar Heels to gain some momentum while the offense tries to find some consistency.
