Heels mad about Utes

Posted Oct 1, 2005

As far as losses go, it's tough to find one more painful. Forget the score -- 46-16 hardly did the beating any justice. Utah whipped North Carolina in football last season, hitting the Tar Heels more like a team from the NFL than the Mountain West Conference. Nine UNC players left that game with injuries, but they were the fortunate ones. The players who stayed on the field were part of the worst defensive performance in school history.
