Heels want to be better closers

Posted Oct 25, 2008
If North Carolina is going to finish strong this season, it needs to produce stronger finishes. Opponents have driven the length of the field four times in the final minutes of regulation this year – scoring twice, winning once, and forcing the Tar Heels to take a long look at their last-minute problems as they prepare for today's game against No.23 Boston College. A victory would make North Carolina bowl-eligible for only the second time since 2001. (Charlotte Observer)
