North Carolina defeated UConn 38-21 in East Hartford, Connecticut, snapping a two-game losing streak, WRAL reported. The Tar Heels scored 21 points off three turnovers during the game.

Quarterback Billy Edwards threw three touchdown passes, including a critical 6-yard touchdown to Jordan Shipp set up by a fumble recovery, according to the Associated Press.

Defensive back Timir Hickman-Collins played a key role with a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown and a fumble recovery that led to a scoring drive, WRAL noted.

This game marked the first time Bill Belichick coached in New England since ending his NFL tenure with the Patriots, adding context to the matchup.

Edwards also made a crucial fourth-down completion and sealed the win with a 3-yard touchdown run, finalizing the Tar Heels' victory, the Associated Press stated.
