Angry Tar Heels ready to turn season around

Posted Nov 6, 2009
The Tar Heels may have saved their season with last Thursday's upset win at Virginia Tech. UNC head coach Butch Davis doesn't point to X's & O's when he explains the team's turn-around last week, he credits anger. "I think they were mad as much as anything after the Florida State game," Davis tells 99.9 FM The Fan ESPN Radio. "We didn't give our best effort down the stretch in that ballgame. We didn't finish the game." (WRAL Sports Fan)
