Heels not bowled over by postseason stock
Posted Oct 10, 2009
At 3-2, UNC needs to beat three more FBS opponents to qualify for its second straight bowl trip, something the program hasn't done since a seven-year streak of bowl games ended with the 1998 team. A 7-5 record and a bowl trip seemed like a foregone conclusion at 3-0, but the Heels have lost two straight to open the ACC schedule. Coach Butch Davis said bowl talk is not high on the Heels' priority list.
