When it comes to the game that North Carolina football played yesterday at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium against 19th ranked Louisville there are so many words that could describe it. Unfortunately the one that will always remain is “loss” as the Tar Heels did just that, ending up on the wrong side of a 39 to 34 final score. And while the game was a tale of two halves, with head coach Larry Fedora’s squad mounting a great come back in the fourth quarter, that same team put itself into a 36 to 7 hole to begin with. If you did not know better in the first thirty minutes Carolina executed on the field like a Football Championship Subdivision program coming to play an SEC team for its yearly beat down.
The first quarter was not half over and the Cardinals had two scores, or better said, two very easy scores, while it seemed that junior quarterback Bryn Renner’s only completion was at a Louisville defender. In less than four minutes UNC had allowed its opponent to get into the end zone ...

N Carolina rally falls short vs No. 19 Louisville
For the second week in a row, North Carolina was lamenting a poor start.
Bryn Renner threw five touchdown passes and the Tar Heels rallied from a 29-point half-time deficit, but came up short in a 39-34 loss to No. 19 Louisville on Saturday.
This one looked painfully similar to last week's loss, with Renner overcoming a rough first half to throw four second-half touchdown passes...

This was one of those rare games that was so night and day between the halves it was completely uncanny. UNC fell behind from the start and trailed 36-7 at halftime. It was a near repeat of the last time UNC faced Louisville at Papa John's Stadium. In that 2005 game, UNC trailed 38-7 at halftime before going on to lose 69-14. However, the second half of this game proved to be...
