Clemson rolls out of open date by beating North Carolina 38-10 in Swinney-Belichick coaching matchup

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- , Antonio Williams threw a 75-yard trick-play touchdown pass to T.J. Moore on the first offensive snap to start Clemson's dominating show in a 38-10 win at North Carolina on Saturday. The coaching matchup of Clemson's Dabo Swinney and North Carolina's Bill Belichick became a romp by the Tigers (2-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who quickly overwhelmed the Tar Heels (2-3, 0-1) as both teams emerged from an open date hoping to regroup from a bumpy September. “Everybody's kind of been in a little bit of funk," Swinney said. "And today they kind of played themselves out of it.” Clemson scored 28 points while averaging 15.8 yards per play in the opening quarter. Cade Klubnik threw four TD passes by halftime , two each to Adam Randall and Christian Bentancur , before giving way in the third to reserve Christopher Vizzina .
