Following North Carolina beating Virginia 41-14 North Carolina Head Coach Mack Brown had this to say!

This has been a team I felt like that has been very confident,”

We’ve made some plays but we wouldn’t put people away. And Duke, Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech are all good teams and we had chances to beat all three of them and we didn’t. “I told the players we’re going to finish strong. We haven’t finished strong the last couple of years and today was a great step forward toward that.”
