Backup quarterback Travis Burgess threw a late interception on 4th down, and the Tar Heels couldn’t complete a desperate comeback attempt in a 16-14 loss to Louisville at Kenan Stadium Saturday night.
Burgess had been in the game ever since starter Billy Edwards was injured on a sack midway through the third quarter. Burgess, a true freshman, finished 6-for-11 with 59 passing yards and the interception, as well as 35 rushing yards. Edwards was 10-for-14 for 120 yards and a fumble, which led to Louisville’s only touchdown of the game. Ben Hall scored both of UNC’s touchdowns on the ground, posting his first career multi-touchdown game.
Saturday’s loss drops UNC to 3-8 in home games under head coach Bill Belichick. Now 5-5 overall, the Tar Heels will be back in action when they visit Virginia next Saturday, Nov. 21 at 12:30 p.m.
