Clemson Rallies to Beat North Carolina 28-20 After Weather Delay
North Carolina led 17-3 in the second quarter before Clemson answered with four long scoring drives and handed Bill Belichick his first loss this season.
On Saturday, freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds led Clemson to a 28-20 comeback victory over North Carolina at Memorial Stadium, rallying from a 14-point first-half deficit.
North Carolina entered the game following defensive coordinator Steve Belichick's resignation amid an ongoing probe; head coach Bill Belichick's squad jumped out to a 17-3 lead in the second quarter.
Following a 2.5-hour weather delay, running back Gideon Davidson scored the go-ahead touchdown with five minutes remaining as Clemson executed scoring drives of 88, 92, 68, and 44 yards.
Bill Belichick faced scrutiny for a failed fourth-and-1 play call while trailing 21-20; the Tar Heels turned the ball over on downs, allowing the Tigers a late insurance touchdown.
The Tigers travel to face California on Friday night, while North Carolina confronts a challenging stretch against Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Duke, Syracuse, and Miami ahead for Bill Belichick's program.
