Nicks goes on scoring spree against tough Eagles defense
Posted Oct 26, 2008
Receiver Hakeem Nicks caught three touchdown passes and ran for another touchdown as the Tar Heels wiped out Boston College 45-24. Nicks called his own shot, more or less. During the team's walk-through at Kenan Stadium on Friday, Nicks boldly told offensive linemen that he foresaw a career day on the horizon. "I felt it," Nicks said. "I ain't going to say I felt four touchdowns, but I felt a career day, and that's just what I went out there and did."
