    By Zack Pearson,

    Another week and another win for the North Carolina Tar Heels football program as they took down Charlotte 38-20 on Saturday in Chapel Hill.

    With North Carolina’s defense playing at a high level, the offense was led by quarterback Conner Harrell making his first start in replacing Max Johnson who suffered a season-ending injury.

    The game may not have been a dominant effort by the Tar Heels but they got the win and that’s the most important thing right now. The win also saw them earn some votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll for the week.

    UNC earned five votes in the poll, ranking them at No. 41 overall this week heading into a home game against NC Central. Saturday will be another chance for the Tar Heels to stay unbeaten and get another home win.
