Today's win over Boston College was huge for the Tar Heel football team.
It means that UNC only needs to beat Maryland and Duke over the next two weeks to reach six wins and bowl eligibility. A win at Virginia Tech, while highly unlikely, is now not a must-win to reach the six-win plateau.

Like I said yesterday, John Bunting's teams have shown the ability to overcome adversity.

The Heels need not rest on their laurels, as there is certainly room for improvement. However, today's was a total team win over a Top-20 team.

To put themselves in a position to a) get to a bowl, and b) win it, the Tar Heels have to capitalize on opportunities. First-and-10s inside the 15-yard-line need to lead to touchdowns, not field goals (although it is a relief to see Connor Barth go 3-3 again). We need six points in the red zone. Those are points we'll need to have in later games.

Still, the offense is to be commended for putting together some long, sustained drives that gave the defense some rest, enabling them to make some big plays and stops.

Game ball goes to Jesse Holley. Who else? The kid is a playmaker. His receptions on 3rd-and-long kept drives alive, and led to points. They'll lead to more touchdowns soon.

A good, solid W today. The BC touchdown in the last minute provided some drama, but the Heels were the better team today.
