Tar Heels battle through ups and downs

Posted Oct 25, 2008
This afternoon's game versus No. 23 Boston College (5-1, 2-1) is what Tar Heels coach Butch Davis called a ``bounce back situation.'' Thus far this season, the Tar Heels have shown the ability to do just that, posting a 28-24 victory at Miami a week after falling at home to Virginia Tech. "We took the Virginia Tech loss and moved past it, so we've just got to put this behind us,'' running back Shawn Draughn said. (Burlington Times News)
