Despite a spirited second-half comeback that saw them take the lead, UNC football couldn’t hold on vs. Duke during Senior Day, falling 32-25. 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell and Michael Koh discuss Carolina’s offense stepping up in the second half while special teams arguably lost the games — in part, because of penalties. Bryn Renner joins to break that down further, as well as Gio Lopez’s QB play and the rivalry experience with N.C. State. Plus: a trio of “What In Tar-Nation?!” calls feature a song recommendation, a look at what the Wolfpack are bringing to Saturday’s game, and predictions for how rowdy it will get in Carter-Finley Stadium.
