North Carolina Opens Bill Belichick’s Second Season with 15-10 Win over TCU in Ireland
- On Saturday, North Carolina defeated TCU 15-10 in the Aer Lingus Classic at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, opening head coach Bill Belichick's second season with the Tar Heels.
- Looking to improve on a disappointing 4-8 debut last year, Belichick sought to rebuild team chemistry, noting the previous group lacked the 'same kind of adhesion' with personally recruited players.
- New quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. threw for 232 yards and Aeron Burrell kicked two field goals, while the Tar Heels' defense forced two turnovers on downs and a safety in the first half alone.
- The defensive effort ended TCU's streak of scoring at least 30 points in 10 consecutive season openers, as the Horned Frogs managed only 10 points despite being 8.5-point favorites.
- Both teams enter an open date before returning to action, with North Carolina scheduled to host East Tennessee State on Saturday, Sept. 12, seeking a regular-season home opening victory.
