UNC played a lot better against Illinois than they did Georgia. Let’s take a look at some takeaways from that game

Mitch Trubisky broke out of his shell this past Saturday night.

He morphed into a superhero and led the North Carolina Tar Heels to a 48-23 massacre of the Illinois Fighting Illini. Although the score surpassed the ’21-skunk rule,’ the game was a lot closer.

North Carolina used a pretty good fourth quarter to finally pull away from the Fighting Illini and get into the win column.

Many things went well for the Tar Heels on Saturday night. Lets take a look at these things as well as some other takeaways.
