Virginia gets past UNC in overtime

Posted Oct 19, 2008
North Carolina collapsed yesterday and surrendered two touchdowns that allowed Virginia to escape with a comeback 16-13 overtime win. The finish marked the third time in four games that UNC needed a stop in the end zone or near the end zone to win. The defense held against Miami and Notre Dame but buckled under against Virginia. "It just shows that our defense has a lot to improve on," said safety Deunta Williams. (Winston-Salem Journal)
