North Carolina held off a late Stanford rally to secure a 20-15 victory at Kenan Stadium. Quarterback Gio Lopez connected with Davion Gause for a 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter before finding Jordan Shipp for an electrifying 55-yard score to build a commanding 20-3 lead in the fourth. The Cardinal mounted a desperate comeback with two late touchdowns, including CJ Williams' 24-yard reception, but failed on both two-point conversion attempts as the Tar Heels preserved their hard-fought win.
