fell to 4-4 and 2-3 in ACC play with a disappointing 41-14 loss versus North Carolina on Saturday at Scott Stadium. The beatdown came as a surprise to many, as UNC came into the contest on a four-loss skid. With the victory, the Tar Heels improve to 4-4 and 1-3 in ACC play.
UNC responded to the early lead with a scoring drive of their own, this one for a touchdown on a 37-yard connection from Jacolby Criswell to wide receiver JJ Jones. Other than another failed red zone trip that saw the Hoos tack on another field goal, the rest of the first half was a one-sided affair. Colandrea was under constant pressure and the Cavaliers amassed just 77 total yards through the first two quarters.
The lone offensive highlight of the game came from Tony Muskett, who replaced Colandrea down 32 points midway through the fourth quarter. On Muskett's third pass attempt, he connected with JR Wilson for a 68-yard score - the first of Wilson's young career.
