WVU nips Heels in wild Meineke Bowl

Posted Dec 28, 2008
Hakeem Nicks caught three touchdowns and racked up more than 200 yards but it wasn't enough to end UNC's season — and perhaps his college career — with a bowl win. West Virginia quarterback Pat White threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns to out-duel Nicks and give the Mountaineers a 31-30 win in the Meineke Bowl in Charlotte. Nicks, a Charlotte native, caught all three of his touchdowns in the first half as UNC built a 23-21 lead. (Raleigh News & Observer)
