<p>CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Bud Clark had a first-half pick-six and Kevorian Barnes had a 75-yard touchdown run on the first second-half snap to help TCU spoil Bill Belichick's college coaching debut by rolling past North Carolina 48-14 on Monday night.</p>
<p>The 73-year-old Belichick had won six Super Bowl titles in a 24-year run as head coach of the NFL's New England Patriots. His Tar Heels (0-1) scored on the game's first possession, but the Horned Frogs steadily took control to drive a full-house hostile crowd to the exits well before the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>Clark's 25-yard return late in the second was the first of two defensive touchdowns for the Horned Frogs (1-0), the other being Devean Deal's 37-yard scoop-and-score in the third.</p>
<p>TCU's Josh Hoover threw for two scores while Jordan Dwyer finished with nine catches for 136 yards and a 27-yard first-quarter TD. Trent Battle added his own score by running untouched around the left side for 28 yards as TCU built a 41-7 lead.</p>
<p>Caleb Hood ran for a score for the Tar Heels' first touchdown under Belichick. South Alabama transfer quarterback Gio Lopez completed 4 of 10 passes for 69 yards before exiting the game after halftime with a back injury.</p>
<p>TCU outgained UNC 542-222 in total offense.</p>
<p>The takeaway</p>
<p>TCU: It was quite a reversal for the Horned Frogs, who lost two years ago as the "other" team in the Colorado debut of former NFL superstar Deion Sanders but took over this one in a stretch of 41 unanswered points.</p>
<p>UNC: Belichick had overhauled the roster, with UNC bringing in roughly 70 new players between transfers and incoming recruits. This was a sign it will take time to make good on UNC's bet that he can elevate its football program.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>TCU: The Horned Frogs get a week off before returning with a home game against Abilene Christian on Sept. 13.</p>
<p>UNC: The Tar Heels have a short turnaround, visiting the state's biggest city with a trip to Charlotte on Saturday.</p>
