Tar Heels get off week to regroup after Louisville debacle

Things were going well for North Carolina just two weeks ago. One horrid performance changed all that, and an off week gave extra time for that humiliating scoreboard vision - "Louisville 69, N. Carolina 14" - to really sink in. Bunting responded by giving his players a light week with several days off to regroup. Now the Tar Heels are back to their work routine heading into Saturday's game against No. 23 Virginia, the start of a tough stretch that will determine whether they return to a bowl game for a second-straight season.
