Nice comeback win for the Heels as they throttle an over-matched Georgia Southern team in a game that was never really in doubt after Carolina went up 21-7 in the second quarter. LBs Quan Sturdivant and Bruce Carter both had defensive touchdowns while CB Kendric Burney and LB Zach Brown tallied INTs for the Tar Heel defense, who looked incredibly motivated and hungry from the outset.

The offense also played well, and the key to that was OG Jonathon Cooper's return to the lineup. Cooper solidified what has been an injury decimated offensive line and helped the Heels rack up four rushing touchdowns on the day. Though there were some other injuries in this game for the offense (RBs A.J. Blue and Jamal Womble, as well as replacement OC Cam Holland), they executed better than in previous weeks and started to get a good rhythm.

The starters should definitely feel good about where they are headed into the bye week; a lot of those guys are replacement starters who have gained valuable experience throughout this injury-plagued season, and to be sitting at 4-2 isn't the end of the world for this team. Granted, there are some very tough tests ahead (including at Virginia Tech, which looks to be the toughest remaining game left on UNC's schedule), but if Carolina has a good bye week, gets healthy, and comes out strong against Florida State, they could be right back in the thick of things with the majority of their ACC schedule left on the table.
