The Worst Defeats in North Carolina Football History
Against the Tigers, the defense looked simply miserable and the offense wasn't far behind. However, the lopsided 52-7 score ranks as just the 8th worst defeat in North Carolina's history.
It's interesting to note that although John Bunting's Clemson loss ranks 8th on the list, he is also reponsible for the first and second worst defeats as well. Here's the list with the coach's name in parenthesis:
