Posted Nov 6, 2005

The Boston College Eagles were grounded. North Carolina's Jesse Holley was flying. On one third-quarter pass, the Tar Heels' wide receiver leaped, grabbed the ball while battling a BC defender, and turned it into a key 29-yard gain. The gabby UNC junior finished with eight catches for 125 yards, both career highs, in the Tar Heels' 16-14 win. (Raleigh News & Observer)
