Tar Heels let lead slip away, lose 20-17

Posted Sep 21, 2008
Virginia Tech stormed from behind late yesterday to seize a game that North Carolina seemingly had under control. The Hokies won 20-17 by taking advantage of a monumental Tar Heels collapse. The Tar Heels led 17-3 with 6:44 left in the third quarter after Greg Little's 50-yard touchdown run, but fell apart almost immediately. Virginia Tech scored 17 points on its next three possessions.
