Tar Heels Deliver Redemption with Dublin Victory Over TCU
TL;DR Summary
Carolina opened the 2026 season with a 15-10 win over Texas Christian in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin. New quarterback Billy Edwards connected on medium and short passes for 152 yards, while a swarming Tar Heel defense limited TCU to one touchdown and minimal yardage.
