From the start of the Fenway Bowl in Boston, Massachusetts, it was UConn coming out hitting hard. North Carolina and interim head coach Freddie Kitchens looked shell-shocked.
Granted, UNC football was without several key starters from the season including Omarion Hampton and Jacolby Criswell for most of the game.
Chris Culliver returned a 95-yard kickoff for the first points for the Tar Heels after being down 10-0 in the first quarter. The Huskies piled the points on in the second quarter with two more touchdowns to go up 24-7 at halftime.
The third quarter saw just a field goal from UConn before John Copenhaver caught a touchdown from Caleb Hood in the fourth quarter for a 27-14 ending to a disappointing showing from North Carolina.
Here are the photos from the game depicting that outcome.
