Carolina celebration signals crisis

Posted Nov 20, 2006

The loss marked the Wolfpack's third straight loss to the Tar Heels. In each game, State had a drive that could tie or win the game. On Saturday, with less than three minutes remaining, the Pack had a chance to go down the field and tie the game. But on a fourth down, deep in its own territory and down 16-9, Amato decided to go for it. Amato said he wanted to "take a shot." (Technician)
