State couldn't score at all. They mustered just two first downs in the fourth quarter and watched Carolina's offense strangle the ball for 10:39 of the final 15 minutes. And when Mike Mason watched his defense trot out for the game's final series with 1:01 to play and 68 yards between the Pack and a tie game, he already knew the outcome. He saw a physically whipped team, and they were wearing red. (Tar Heel Blue)
