Tar Heels fans will remember the football team’s loss to 1-5 Virginia (not warmly, of course).
Following a 6-0 start to the season, Mack Brown’s squad climbed into the top ten nationally, as the possibility of a College Football Playoff began to emerge.
Well, the Cavaliers ruined that idea.
It’s difficult not to be unhappy about the loss. This program’s storyline remains consistent: a terrific start, a dreadful finish.
As much as the loss to Virginia hurts, the true test for the UNC football team still ahead.
The College Football Playoff is unlikely, but the Tar Heels may still contend for the ACC championship.
To make it to the ACC Championship game, North Carolina must regroup quickly.
It begins with Georgia Tech on the road next Saturday night, followed by ACC games against Duke, Clemson, and NC State. If the UNC football program does well in those games, which is not as unlikely as we might believe right now, the Tar Heels will be in Charlotte on December 2.
After being the hunter, the University of North Carolina football program became the hunted. Now it’s time to find a way to become the hunter once more, to be the team we saw in the first six weeks of the season.
Without a question, Virginia has suffered a terrible loss. Despite this
Without a question, Virginia has suffered a terrible loss. Even if it felt like the world was ending, there is still hope for the UNC football program’s season: we’ll have to wait and watch how this team responds now that their backs are truly against the wall.
Could this be a setback for a massive rebound, or will this loss begin off the downward spiral that UNC football supporters have come to expect from this program?
