All week leading into Saturday’s game against Virginia, UNC football head coach Mack Brown warned his team not to eat the cheese in a trap game in Chapel Hill.
But it seems as if everyone ate the cheese and now, UNC finds themselves 6-1 on the year. The loss does eliminate any hope UNC would have at making a run to the College Football Playoff and dents their hopes at a New Year’s Six Bowl as well.
Following the game, the Tar Heels talked about what happened out there in what felt like a game where they had no juice from the start. And head coach Mack Brown and the coaches took responsibility.
Brown told reporters that the coaches didn’t have the team prepared.
“A disappointing loss for us obviously, congratulations to Virginia. They coached better than us, and they played better than us,” Brown said via Inside Carolina. “When you give up 228 yards rushing and only rush for 143, usually you’re not gonna win the game. And we had chance after chance, but I think you’d have to say that we as coaches didn’t prepare them very well. We’ve talked about the poison cheese and we ate it.”
Let’s take a look at what else Brown had to say.
