Redshirt freshman Elijah Brown led two late scoring touchdown drives, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rough three quarters in his first start of the season as Stanford lost to North Carolina 20-15 in Chapel Hill on Saturday.
The Tar Heels (4-5, 2-3 ACC) led 20-3 early in the fourth quarter. At that point, Brown had 97 yards on 21 attempts, committed two turnovers deep in Stanford territory, and had been sacked eight times for 63 yards.
The former top recruit did come alive in the fourth quarter, leading scoring drives of 75 and 80 yards. He threw a 24-yard touchdown to fellow Mater Dei alum CJ Williams with 1:48 remaining to make it 20-15.
Stanford got the ball back at its 20 with 46 seconds left, but Brown was sacked for a ninth time and the Cardinal ran out of time before it could get near midfield.
