North Carolina quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. threw three touchdown passes to lead the Tar Heels to a 38-21 victory over the UConn Huskies on Saturday night at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut.
The win marked a return to New England for Bill Belichick, the former New England Patriots head coach, who was in attendance for the game.
Edwards Jr. completed 18 of 27 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. The Tar Heels improved to 7-2 on the season, while UConn fell to 3-6.
North Carolina's defense forced two turnovers and held the Huskies to 312 total yards. The Tar Heels will face Virginia Tech next week, while UConn travels to Syracuse.
