EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- , Billy Edwards threw for three touchdowns and North Carolina scored 21 points off three turnovers as the Tar Heels defeated UConn 38-21 to snap a two-game losing streak in coach Bill Belichick’s return to New England. It was Belichick's first game back coaching in New England since his tenure with the NFL's Patriots came to an end. “It’s good to be back in New England,” Belichick said. "It was an interesting game. I think UConn is a really challenging team, they put a lot of pressure on us. “The team rebounded pretty well after a couple of tough losses.” Timir Hickman-Collins returned an interception 62 yards for a touchdown and had a fumble recovery to set up a 6-yard touchdown pass from Edwards to Jordan Shipp .
