Disappointment shifts to motivation for UNC
Posted Sep 28, 2009
UNC dropped out of the AP Top 25 Poll, and it's the first time this season it hasn't been ranked. Georgia Tech, on the other hand, is now ranked 25th, a week after dropping out of the poll. Davis said the Tar Heels will spend the week examining its offense and seeing if they're using their players effectively. UNC hosts winless Virginia on Saturday and needs to rebound with a productive game from its offense to stay in the hunt for an ACC title.
