On Friday night, North Carolina coach Bill Belichick capped his statement regarding a lack of interest in a level of football that is no longer interested in him by saying, “We’re onto Wake Forest.”
Wake Forest was ready.
The Demon Deacons beat the Tar Heels on Saturday, 28-12. The home team’s first touchdown came on a fumble recovery by the offense that turned into a scrum, which ultimately resulted in a 51-yard run to the end zone by receiver Carlos Hernandez.
The closest the game got was 14-9 in the third quarter. Ultimately, Wake Forest scored four touchdowns, while North Carolina managed four field goals—two other attempts were blocked.
“Just not good enough in any area,” Belichick told reporters after the game. “We’re a better team than we were tonight.”
What they are is 4-6.
With two games left in the season, North Carolina needs to win both to become bowl eligible. They finish with matchups against 5-5 Duke and 5-5 N.C. State. Win both, and North Carolina will be eligible to extend its season by one game.
