Then it took 126 years for UNC to get another QB worth noting in Drake Maye.
On this day in North Carolina history October 26, 1895.
North Carolina helped change football forever, and it happened because a desperate player broke the rules.
UNC was playing Georgia in Atlanta when fullback Joel Whitaker faced a Georgia rush that threatened to block his punt. Instead of kicking the ball, he threw it forward to teammate George Stephens.
Stephens caught it and ran 70 yards for a touchdown.
Georgia's coach, legendary Pop Warner, protested. The forward pass was illegal, but the referee never saw the throw. The touchdown stood, and UNC won 6 to 0.
The forward pass wouldn't become legal until 1906.
Think about that the next time you watch a quarterback throw a touchdown. A play that helped shape modern football started with a desperate decision by a Tar Heel.
North Carolina history is full of stories like this one. 🏈
Congrats new SEC/Big Ten super conference

Sell the old bricks to raise money. These were witness to the 1983 championship celebration among other historic moments for the university.
After being closed for 3 years, a refreshed, revamped and re-ramped Brickyard will soon reopen to pedestrians.
All bricks were replaced with a new subsurface of gravel and 435,000 water-permeable pavers. Old bricks will be used in projects around campus. ncst.at/wZtz50ZN1ph

Our oldest pup, Logan, had surgery Wednesday to remove a tumor. While he’s going to need further treatments, he did well in the surgery & is recovering.
His sister, Bella, has been very helpful looking out for him…although we are questioning her methods.
