Tar Heels Deliver Redemption with Dublin Victory Over TCU

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. The revamped UNC program under Bill Belichick, aided by Bobby Petrino, showed discipline (few penalties) and a strong red-zone defense, earning a Waterford crystal trophy and a new sense of momentum as the team prepares for East Tennessee State.
