UNC&#8217;s offense struggled, with their quarterback Gio Lopez leaving the game injured in the second half. TCU outgained UNC substantially and scored the most points ever allowed by North Carolina in a season opener. Belichick acknowledged TCU was the better team and deserved the decisive win.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bud Clark had a first-half pick-six, and Kevorian Barnes had a 75-yard touchdown run on the first second-half snap to help TCU spoil Bill Belichick&rsquo;s college coaching debut by rolling past North Carolina 48-14 on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We wanted this game to be about us, and it was,&rdquo; TCU coach Sonny Dykes said.<\/p>\n<p>The 73-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-belichick-watches-front-row-24-year-old-girlfriend-gets-humbled-beauty-pageant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Belichick<\/a> had won six Super Bowl titles in a 24-year run as head coach of the NFL&rsquo;s New England Patriots.
