Following North Carolina’s 21-20 loss at Duke Saturday night North Carolina Head Coach Mack Brown had this to say!
It’s awful,”“I mean, you fight your guts out, unlike last week. And they fought their guts out and gave every ounce they could.”
I thought we had a really good first half,” Brown said. “We were still inconsistent offensively. They’re really good on defense. We had trouble getting Omarion the normal yards and runs he gets, although he still gained over a hundred yards. “But in the second half we had a struggling drive with a couple of big plays to start the second half, which really bothered me. I thought we’d come out and take over the game, which we should have in the third quarter, and we didn’t.”
Their ability to run the ball in the second half and our inability to run the ball was what changed the game,”
Following North Carolina’s 21-20 loss at Duke Saturday night North Carolina quarterback Jacoby Criswell had this to say!
You lose two in a row, obviously there’s going to be some heads turning,”
the Tar Heels’ quarterback. “But at the end of the day, like I said, I have 100% belief in the coaches and the players, and we’re going to get this done.”
We lost, but I have one hundred percent belief in the coaches and the players we’re going to get it done,”
“You never want to lose games. But you lose one ACC game, there’s still hope. Our season’s not over.”
