Louisville Wins 16-14 After Mack's Fourth-Down Interception

A fourth-down interception that sealed Louisville's win also left the game under ACC review for a benches-clearing brawl with possible suspensions.

Overview

  • Jabari Mack intercepted a fourth-down pass that ricocheted off Jordan Shipp with 58 seconds remaining and returned it 32 yards to clinch a 16-14 Louisville victory.
  • North Carolina starter Billy Edwards Jr. exited after a jarring sack, and freshman Travis Burgess was pressed into duty and threw the fourth-down pass that was intercepted.
  • Benjamin Hall scored two rushing touchdowns for UNC, including a 6-yard run with 3:43 left that brought the Tar Heels within two points and set up the final drive.
  • The game ended in a large, benches-clearing brawl that included shoving, apparent punches, and reports of flags and helmets being thrown, and the ACC has opened a review that could lead to discipline.
  • Louisville improved to 7-3 and extended a multi-game win streak while North Carolina fell to 5-5 and remains one win short of bowl eligibility with both teams facing conference opponents next Saturday.
