Extra Points: Holiday Heartache

Posted Dec 28, 2009
Butch Davis and the Tar Heels still have some work to do. They lost to West Virginia by one point in 2008 on Pat White's throwing wizardry and now to Pitt by two points as tailback Dion Lewis darted for 159 yards and kicker Dan Hutchins connected on a 33-yard field goal with just under a minute to play. The one thing clearly we didn't do was play as smart as we needed to. That's my fault," Davis said. (Tar Heel Blue)
