The Day After: Grinding Win

North Carolina’s trip to Charlotte was not flashy, but it was perhaps a glimpse into what style of football the Tar Heels will play under the tutelage of head coach Bill Belichick. Carolina scored first with a Gio Lopez bomb to Chris Culliver, and from there it was a grind on both sides of the ball leading to a 20-3 win over the 49ers. Inside Carolina’s Jason Staples and Buck Sanders join host Tommy Ashley to dissect what occurred in Jerry Richardson Stadium on Saturday night across all three phases of the game.
