Forgettable Fenway showing for Heels with Belichick hope ahead

BOSTON — There was plenty missing from North Carolina’s offense that led to the equivalent of a near no-hitter at Fenway Park.

The Tar Heels couldn’t hit on any big plays other than Chris Culliver’s kickoff return until a late Caleb Hood-fueled drive, as UConn easily won the Fenway Bowl 27–14 Saturday at Fenway Park before a partisan Huskies crowd.

Heels excited to play at Fenway Park, which presents rare challenges

BOSTON — For the second time in three seasons, North Carolina will play a bowl game in a Major League Baseball stadium. Unlike the 2022 Holiday Bowl at the San Diego Padres’ Petco Park, Saturday’s 11 a.m. game will be played in Fenway Park, one of baseball’s most classic ballparks and home of the Boston Red Sox.
