NOV. 23, 2024
ALUMNI STADIUM, CHESTNUT HILL, MASS.
• UNC falls to 6-5 overall, 3-4 in the ACC.
• Mack Brown is 113-78-1 as head coach of UNC. Brown is 288-154-1 all-time and is the
winningest active head coach in the FBS.
• UNC is now 6-3 all-time against Boston College and the Eagles snapped a five-game losing
streak to the Heels, their first victory over Carolina since 2004.
• Mack Brown is now 1-1 in his career against Boston College. Both games have been played
in Chestnut Hill.
• UNC was held scoreless in the first quarter for the third consecutive game. The last time the
Tar Heels were held scoreless in the first quarter for three consecutive games in the same
season was in 2017 (at Virginia Tech, vs. Virginia, vs. Notre Dame).
• The loss matched Carolina’s largest of the season (James Madison, 70-50, Sept. 21).
• A Tar Heel failed to rush for at least 100 yards for the first time this season. Carolina was
previously one of two schools (Boise State) to have had a 100-yard rusher in every game of
the 2024 season.
• Carolina has now scored six non-offensive touchdowns this season: three interceptions
returned for a touchdown, a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, a punt return for a
touchdown, and a kick return for a touchdown, following Chris Culliver’s 95-yard return
today.
Offense
• Davion Gause scored his first and second career touchdowns late in the game.
• John Copenhaver recorded a career-high 64 receiving yards.
• The Heels’ 212 total yards were their fewest since recording 172 against Virginia Tech on
Oct. 21, 2017.
• Omarion Hampton rushed for 53 yards, snapping his record streak of eight consecutive
games with 100 or more rushing yards.
• Hampton now has 1,475 rushing yards on the season, moving ahead of Elijah Hood for the
third most in a single season by a Tar Heel. He now ranks second and third on the all-time
list.
• Jacolby Criswell threw two interceptions in the game, snapping his streak of 154 passes
without an interception, which was the longest streak by a Tar Heel since Drake Maye
attempted 195 passes without an interception in 2022.

• Joshua Harris recorded a career-high seven tackles.

• Will Hardy recorded the second forced fumble of his career and first of the season.
Special Teams
• Chris Culliver scored his first touchdown of the year on a kickoff return in the second
quarter.
• Culliver’s return was the longest kick return of the year and first kickoff return for a
touchdown since Bryson Nesbit returned an onside kick for a touchdown against
Appalachian State in 2022.
• Culliver’s return was the longest return since Anthony Ratliff-Williams returned a kick 98
yards in 2017.
• Noah Burnette was good on three extra points in the game, moving ahead of Jeff Hayes for
third place all-time with 134 extra points made.

SMU has not been in a Major conference since the SWC dissolved in the last century. Rhett Lashlee is in his first ever HC job. Last year, his 2nd as HC, Lashlee won a conference championship. In his 3rd season, Lashlee has SMU set to play for the ACC championship with only 1 loss this year - by 3 points. So SMU has a decent chance to be in the playoffs this year, Lashlee's 3rd as HC anywhere.

Mack is in the HOF because Texas football has more money than God, which made his silver tongue doubly golden in recruiting. Mack is in his 16th season at UNC without an ACC championship. Mack is at least 15 years past his prime.

Can you name the second leading rebounder on the team so far this season? Honor system, no cheating.

I am in Boston for the football game tomorrow, but we have a stronger covering the game. He used to cover college sports for the main Honolulu newspaper.

We will have scaled down coverage but will have postgame stuff and a 3 Things.

Okay, it's time we begin a class of 2027 thread.
