UConn Out To Stop Big-Play Tar Heels

Posted Oct 4, 2008
With a win today against the Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium, the Huskies' road woes could be forgotten and they would be 6-0 for the first time since 1995. North Carolina, in its second season under Butch Davis, appears ready to put itself on the football map for the first time since Mack Brown left for Texas in 1997. The Tar Heels haven't had a winning season since John Bunting led them to an 8-5 season in 2001. (Hartford Courant)
