The Eagles explosive performance marked the second-most points scored in a game this season and the most in conference play.

Although North Carolina is the ultimate basketball school, it has an underrated football program. The Tar Heels have nine conference championships and two division titles. North Carolina is a regular on the bowl circuit. However, its last ACC championship was in 1980. Pro Football Hall of Fame members Lawrence Taylor and Chris Hanburger played for UNC.
North Carolina head coach Mack Brown is on his second tour of duty. Brown is the winningest coach in North Carolina history and has led the Tar Heels to a school record ten bowl appearances. In his first tour of duty, Brown led the Tar Heels to four Top 20 final finishes with three double-digit win seasons and a final ranking of 6th in 1997. After winning a national championship at Texas and doing ESPN TV work, Brown returned to take over a program that went 2-9 the season before his arrival. Brown has led the Tar Heels to bowl games every season since taking command in 2019. In 2020, the Tar Heels finished 13th in the final CFP rankings.
While Brown has had prolific offenses in his second tour of duty, he has yet to find a defense to make the team complete.
