Quick Thoughts on UNC football ahead of a showdown with Louisville
UNC handled UConn last Saturday. The defense flipped its usual script, surrendering an abnormally high number of explosive plays (nine) but also generating an abnormally high level of havoc: eight QB hurries, three sacks, four tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and a fumble recovery (with an assist from the officials). UNC’s offense, in its last six drives, produced five touchdowns and a single missed FG on a wet field. UNC simply made more plays than UConn on both sides of the ball in a comfortable win.

Within weeks of moving in, Warren began noticing the odor several times a week. “My partner, she will immediately go back inside when she smells it,” Warren said. On Sunday, Nov. 8, around 9 p.m., the couple was sitting on the porch at their home, near Pierce Olive Road and N.C. 540, when the smell suddenly returned. Both went indoors. When they came back about 30 minutes later, the odor was gone. Warren sometimes uses a fan to make sitting outside more tolerable. After reading about odor complaints near New Hill, Warren filed a complaint with Apex on Monday and spoke at Tuesday’s Town Council meeting. He said he has noticed the smell only near his home and that his neighbors have reported experiencing it too. Officials have not established whether the odors in his neighborhood and New Hill share a source. At the meeting, Water Resources Director Jonathan Jacobs said Apex and Cary still have not identified the source of New Hill’s recurring complaints,
