Tar Heels looking for wide receivers to catch on
Posted Nov 2, 2005
There he was, running wide open in the center of the field. Jarwarski Pollock's eyes followed Matt Baker's perfect pass spiraling toward him for a sure touchdown. All that remained was the formality of making the catch. Instead, the ball skipped off Pollock's outstretched hands. While the catch would have increased North Carolina's first-half lead on Miami, it was just one drop and hardly determined the outcome. Still, it illustrated some of the offensive inconsistency for the Tar Heels in their pursuit of a second straight bowl bid.
