Already a must-win for Wolfpack, Tar Heels

Posted Sep 23, 2005

In a refreshingly candid moment this week, North Carolina coach John Bunting shared the desperation of his football team. "To say that we're starving for a win would probably be an understatement," Bunting said. It's not an exaggeration to say an entire season's success for two teams hinges on North Carolina's visit to N.C. State at noon Saturday. No matter that it's still September and North Carolina and N.C. State are playing just their third game. (Charlotte Observer)
