UNC football coach Mack Brown was particularly pleased his team was able to build on its success from a week earlier in Durham and to have the wherewithal to not just stage a rally, but complete one. The Tar Heels were down 21 at Florida State and lost by three. Ditto at Virginia. Against Wake Forest, they encountered a hump in the road and blew it to bits. (GoHeels.com)
