The UNC football program suffered its second consecutive loss of the season, this time to rival Duke. The state of the program looks grim, as North Carolina desperately needed to right the ship after getting rocked by James Madison at home, surrendering 70 points to a team that was decimated after the 2023 season by the departure of their head coach and most of the team to the transfer portal.

A rivalry game against Duke represented an opportunity to shut the naysayers down, and for a half and change of football, it looked like Mack Brown had solved most of his problems. Then came the fall.

I'm too sad to go too in depth, so let's dive into the most obvious lessons learned from this backbreaking loss to the Blue Devils.
