  • 56-24? How did they keep it that close?

    From The NOTBCS Guy@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 28 06:40:38 2022
    There were reports that Florida A&M only suited 7 offensive linemen for the UNC game because of various eligibility and injury issues (that's what happens when you're at the bottom of the APR list - in fact, I think the only reason FAMU is eligible for
    the FCS tournament is, the NCAA waived the usual APR penalties because of COVID-19 effects). The score was 35-24 after three quarters, but this was a game of seven quarters - the four UNC played, and the three FAMU had enough players to handle.

    Bravery, probably -- and I have some real questions now as to North Carolina's defense.
