Tar Heels Top Utes, 34-17

Posted Oct 2, 2005

Coming off last week’s emotional victory over N.C. State, there were plenty of folks who felt that the Tar Heels may not bring the same intensity into this week’s non-conference clash. However, behind two touchdown passes from quarterback Matt Baker and five forced turnovers from the defense, the Tar Heels avenged last season’s 46-16 blowout in Salt Lake City while keeping their hopes alive of winning enough games to play in a second straight bowl.
