Since 2004, no other ACC QB has done that in any 7-game stretch & no true or RS freshman has done it at any FBS school.
In playoff era, only 5 QBs -- Mayfield, Zappe, Grier, Falk & Minshew - have longer streaks.
VICTORY BELL REMAINS IN CHAPEL HILL
• Carolina is 3-0 in the ACC and 6-1 overall (4-0 on the road). The Tar Heels are bowl eligible for the fourth-year in a row under head coach Mack Brown.
• The victory gives UNC four-straight road victories for the first time since the 2016 team won its first four away games. Carolina now has road wins this season at App State, Georgia State, Miami and Duke.
• UNC improves to 65-40-11 against Duke and has won four-straight games over the Blue Devils, the longest streak since Carolina won eight in a row from 2004-2011.
• The Tar Heels are 32-19-2 against Duke in Durham.
• Brown has won 12 in a row over the Blue Devils and is 12-2 all-time against Duke (6-1 at Wallace Wade Stadium).
• Kamari Morales hauled in his 10th career receiving touchdown to break the UNC record by a tight end. The previous mark of nine touchdowns was held by Tony Blanchard (1968-70), Ken Taylor (1970-72) and Brandon Fritts (2015-18).
• Sophomore running back Elijah Green scored his first two career touchdowns in the third quarter. His first was a 1-yard plunge, while his second was a 20-yard scamper that helped build a 31-21 lead for the Tar Heels.
LATE GAME HEROICS
• Drake Maye found Antoine Green in the front right corner of the end zone with 16 seconds to play in the fourth quarter for the go-ahead and game-winning score last Saturday at Duke.
• It was the first time UNC scored in the final minute to win a game since 2016 when Mitch Trubisky hit Bug Howard with a 2-yard TD pass with two seconds to play in a 37-36 win at Kenan Stadium.
• Freshman defensive back Will Hardy sealed the game with an interception at the UNC 40 yard line with two seconds to play. It was his first career interception. Graduate student defensive lineman Noah Taylor tipped the ball (his second breakup of the season) that led to the interception. Hardy is the only Tar Heel to have an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery this season.
