The Shoop Scoop: Be Good At Things That Matter

Posted Nov 2, 2012
The Tar Heel defense had an outstanding four minute situation last weekend. Three times in the 4th quarter UNC forced State to punt with a lead. Then with the score tied 35-35 and 1:24 left in the game, the Carolina defense was good at something that matters when it mattered most. State was forced to punt after a three and out and Gio Bernard returned it for a touchdown that will be remembered forever by UNC sports fans. (Chapelboro.com)
