• Wide receivers Josh Downs and Antoine Green both returned to the field last Saturday against Notre Dame and both scored two receiving touchdowns against the Fighting Irish. They are the first Tar Heel duo to have two receiving TDs in the same game since the 59-53 win over Wake Forest in 2020 when Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome each hauled in a pair of scores from Sam Howell.
