It wouldn't be the last score of the half as A.J. Blue punched it in from three yards out after Dion Guy set up the Tar Heels deep in Idaho territory with a 25-yard interception return.

With such a massive lead, Williams' was brought in for Renner in the second half and his first completion was a 35-yard touchdown pass to Davis as the Tar Heels pulled even further ahead.

Williams added a pair of rushing touchdowns as the Tar Heels' lead ballooned to 66-0.

North Carolina out-gained Idaho by a 575-189 margin. The Vandals had only nine first downs in the game and allowed nine Tar Heel red zone trips.
