North Carolina quarterback Billy Edwards threw three touchdown passes to lead the Tar Heels to a 38-21 victory over UConn on Saturday, marking head coach Bill Belichick's return to New England.
Edwards' performance powered UNC's offense in the non-conference matchup at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The win improved North Carolina's record while handing UConn a loss.
Belichick, the former New England Patriots coach who won six Super Bowls, made his first appearance as a visiting head coach in the region since taking the UNC job. The game drew significant attention due to his deep ties to New England football.
