Tar Heels show they're not one-week wonders

Posted Oct 2, 2005

North Carolina's football players were still seeing red Saturday. Across the line of scrimmage were the red-and-white uniforms of Utah's Utes, not N.C. State, but the Tar Heels did more than enough to establish that the previous week's upset over the Wolfpack was no fluke. "We're a good football team," said Carolina wide receiver Jesse Holley. "I know there are some people who don't think we are, but we know better. Today, we took another step toward proving that." (Raleigh News & Observer)
