Welcome to the Inside Carolina podcast, sponsored by Giant T-shirt and Giant T-shirt.com.

I'm host for this one, John Siegley, joined by Greg Barnes, Ross Martin, and Gregory Hall with our Media Monday Pod.

So, guys, this is going to be the first Media Monday pod of the year that's following a loss by the Tar Heels.

Let's go ahead and get some quick thoughts on that game.

Greg, going to start with you.

What were your major takeaways from watching the heels play against Wake Forest on the road?

Well, I think kind of the key thing is that North Carolina struggled mightily on offense early.

And it was interested in talking with, you know,

Phil Longo on Monday, but he really just talked about the energy

and how North Carolina really didn't match what, what Wake brought.

But Wake did a very good job shutting down what UNC wanted to do,

and then Wake capitalized with a very good quarterback and St.

Charette and that allowed the Neiman Dickens to jump out to that big lead.

And against a team like Wake Forest, it's going to be very difficult to get back in the game.

So credit UNC just for getting back in the game and having a chance there at the end.

But as we've said so many times before this off season,

this schedule is littered with 50-50 games.

And I think people saw that North Carolina won South Carolina, Miami,

even though they were both fourth quarter comebacks.
