WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Noah Burnette kicked a 33-yard field goal with 2:12 left and No. 15 North Carolina’s defense came up with two key fourth-quarter stops to beat Wake Forest 36-34 and secure spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. The Tar Heels won the league’s Coastal Division title with the road win in a marquee matchup of star quarterbacks Drake Maye of UNC and Sam Hartman of Wake Forest. Cam’Ron Kelly came up with a key late interception for UNC, which got 448 yards passing from Maye. Hartman threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns. Two of those went to Donavon Greene.
