North Carolina wide receiver Josh Downs lived up to lofty expectations in Friday night's 17-10 loss to Virginia Tech. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver had eight catches on 10 targets for 123 yards and one touchdown. "I caught the ball and I saw like a five-yard gap and in my head, I said, 'Hit it.' And I just started running and I saw green," Downs explained. (Inside Carolina)
