Tar Heels are starting to feel pain

Posted Sep 20, 2005

Matt Baker was noticeably limping following North Carolina’s loss to Wisconsin. "I’ll be fine," the senior quarterback insisted. "Nothing’s a big problem." Other Tar Heels weren’t quite as fortunate. Senior linebacker Doug Justice is likely lost for he season after suffering a broken bone in his right foot. Not only is Justice one of the team’s leading tacklers — he recorded 11 stops in a season-opening loss to Georgia Tech — but he also makes many of the team’s defensive calls. (Burlington Times News)
