Winners and Losers from Saturday
Posted Oct 12, 2008
North Carolina's defense: The team that entered the week with an NCAA-leading 12 interceptions was at it again Saturday. North Carolina picked off Jimmy Clausen twice and produced five takeaways in a 29-24 victory over Notre Dame. Quan Sturdivant's 32-yard return of an interception on the first play from scrimmage in the second half helped the Tar Heels – who didn't turn it over – rally from an 11-point deficit.
