UNC beats Utah 31-17

Posted Oct 2, 2005

Matt Baker threw two touchdown passes and Tommy Richardson made two key fumble recoveries in the fourth quarter today in North Carolina's 31-17 victory over Utah. The game turned on a penalty late in the third quarter. On a second-and-12 at his own 32, Baker's pass for Jaworski Pollack was intercepted by Eric Weddle, who returned it for a touchdown. But Utah was called for roughing the passer, and the momentum reversed in favor of North Carolina. (Raleigh News & Observer)
