What Bill Belichick said about UNC football onside kicks vs Miami

UNC football recovered back-to-back onside kicks, but penalties prevented the Tar Heels from attempting a comeback. Here's what Bill Belichick had to say.

UNC football coach Bill Belichick commented on the team's failed onside kicks against No. 1 Miami, stating that they were "both close" in recovery attempts. The first onside kick recovery was nullified due to an offside penalty called on Shamar Easter, while the second kick's recovery was negated by an illegal block penalty on Peyton Seelmann.

Seelmann expressed his disappointment, acknowledging that the officials' decisions were final despite his belief that the ball was within reach. Prior to the penalties, Seelmann felt the Tar Heels were "gonna go win it." Despite scoring touchdowns on five of their seven drives, UNC's efforts were ultimately thwarted by Miami's strong defense, scoring six touchdowns and a field goal in seven possessions.

The Hurricanes maintained their perfect record throughout the game, outscoring UNC 38-35 in a tough loss.
