Countdown to Kickoff: Education of Khalif

Posted Aug 30, 2005

For the last 10 months, Khalif Mitchell has basked in the glow of making the game-saving stop and forcing a fumble from the Wolfpack's T.A. McLendon on the doorstep of the goal line. It was one of the most memorable moments in the history of the series between the two old rivals. And it was, well, just a bit lucky. "Khalif was totally in the wrong gap on that play," Chase Page says with a big smile. "That's not where he was supposed to be." (Tar Heel Blue)
