Following North Carolina’s 47-45 win over Duke North Carolina Head Mack Brown had this to say!

I’m an emotional person,“I’m a crier, a screamer, all the things that you think I’m not. When you win a game like this, you’re so proud of your staff, so proud of those kids. Because that’s what everybody’s wanting to do.

“And you never know what’s going to happen. If we won this game 31-14, it would have been ‘good job.’ These kids, this game, down by three with 41 seconds left, that doesn’t happen in your life. That doesn’t happen.”

“pulled everything you can pull.” There was a successful faked punt and an onside kick and the wildcat formation and any number of defensive sets and offensive formations.

They hung in there. They did the things they needed to do to hang on there.

“I saw Drake Maye do some things tonight that were unbelievable,“He made play after play after play. I think he has to be the best quarterback in the country.”

And it was unbelievable that the coaches hung in there and were so positive,”“And the kids. … It doesn’t happen many places in the country. And it’s what you want. You talk about toughness, you talk about character, you talk about culture, you talk about confidence. These things are hard to do. I’m just so proud. “I’m emotional because I love those kids and what they stood for. To see them in that locker room, that’s why you coach. Because you want the kids to feel great about themselves.”

It was unbelievable that the coaches hung in there and were so positive,”
