College Football In The Carolinas: Week 10
UNC Tarheels Break Wake Forest Deacons’ Hearts 58-55
For the second straight year, Wake Forest couldn’t protect a big second-half lead at North Carolina.

Ty Chandler ran for career highs of 213 yards and four touchdowns and North Carolina overcame an 18-point deficit to beat Wake Forest 58-55 on Saturday, handing the Demon Deacons their first loss in a nonconference matchup of Atlantic Coast Conference teams.
