The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - North Carolina
The Good. The Offensive Line. Great job with a special recognition to Quenton Nelson. Good job making holes and good protection for a quarterback making his first start.
The Bad. Red Zone opportunities. Compared to the rest of the season so far (scoring on all trips) scoring (1 Touchdown and 1 Field Goal) on 2 of the 4 chances is a letdown.
The Ugly. Injuries. Apparently nothing super serious or season ending and it looks like everyone will be ready to go in two weeks against USC. Good time for a bye.
