CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Gio Lopez threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, freshman Demon Juju June had 148 rushing yards and a touchdown, and North Carolina beat Richmond 41-6 on Saturday for its first home win of the Bill Belichick era.
Both passing touchdowns went to Jordan Shipp, who caught four passes for 52 yards.
“We just want to be smart, tough and dependable,” said Lopez, who went 10 of 18 for 119 yards and also threw an interception. “At the end of the day, we just need to execute our plays, run them the best that we can. When we do that, we score.”
Those characteristics could also be used to describe North Carolina's defense. The Spiders committed three turnovers, including a fumble returned 62 yards for a Makai Gbayor touchdown, and had just 199 total yards.
