Posted Oct 14, 2008
North Carolina will have to finish its football season without the services of Brandon Tate, its top offensive playmaker, after serious damage was found in his injured right knee. An MRI exam at UNC Hospitals Sunday revealed a torn anterior-cruciate ligament and a torn medial-collateral ligament. The test confirmed the initial diagnosis made Saturday by the UNC Sports Medicine program after Tate was injured in a game against Notre Dame. (Winston-Salem Journal)
