Tar Heels Fall To Hokies

Posted Sep 21, 2008
Dustin Keys kicked the go-ahead 45-yard field goal to cap Virginia Tech's comeback from a two-touchdown deficit and beat North Carolina 20-17 on Saturday in a matchup of Atlantic Coast Conference division favorites. Brandon Tate and Greg Little each scored touchdowns for the Tar Heels (2-1, 0-1), who had pointed to this game as their shot to prove they had arrived as a rising league power in Butch Davis' second season.
