Tar Heels upset Huskies, look to enter poll

Posted Oct 5, 2008

Converted safety Shawn Draughn rushed for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown, defensive lineman Marvin Austin returned an interception 23 yards for another score and North Carolina routed No. 24 Connecticut 38-12 on Saturday night.
