The North Carolina Tar Heels hosted the Virginia Cavaliers Saturday night, and what was supposed to be a breeze of a game was anything but.
Tar Heels had a plentiful of games with TRAP written all over them, but no one expected the Virginia Cavaliers to be the one that stuck to UNC’s heels. However, Virginia gave Carolina fits from start to finish, and it had social media in an uproar.
The first half brought mixed emotions, with UVA getting off to a hot start with the Tar Heels barely being able to keep pace. Nevertheless, they did go into the half up 17-14. The end of the third is where the wheels began to fall off with dropped passes, bad punts, and horrid penalties, causing a disastrous half for UNC.
UVA went on a 17-3 run to take the lead 31-27, with the clock, offense, and defense struggling. When the win started to look bleak, more and more panic started to sit in while the time dwindled. Despite another chance at leaving victorious, Maye throws a game-ending and potentially playoff-chance-ending interception.
