If you watched closely Tuesday, chances are you noticed something familiar. Maybe you first noticed it when Garrison Brooks converted an and-one with 2:57 remaining in the first half and watched as he roared to the crowd in a way that made former Tar Heel All-American Brice Johnson proud. Or maybe you noticed it a play later. Or maybe you noticed it at halftime. (Daily Tar Heel)
