It's a beautiful, fall Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill, which means one thing: time for some North Carolina Tar Heels football.
Spirits are high right now for UNC, which returns home to face Stanford for a 4:30 p.m. kickoff. North Carolina (3-5, 1-3 ACC) snapped its 4-game losing streak on Halloween, controlling Syracuse in a 27-10 final score, while the visiting Cardinal (3-6, 2-4 ACC) lost to Pitt a week ago today.
UNC and Stanford last met in 2016, with the latter winning a 25-23 Sun Bowl matchup. Mitch Trubisky threw for 280 yards and tossed two touchdown in this matchup, but Cardinal defensive end Solomon Thomas proved the deciding factor, dominating in the trenches with seven tackles (five solo), two TFLs and a sack.
Can the Tar Heels build off their most complete performance in 2025? Will Stanford snap its own 2-game losing streak? Make sure you follow along here for big plays, updates, scores and more throughout.
