UNC's Win Over South Carolina Even More Satisfying for Tar Heels After Emotional Buildup

UNC had to play without the services of preseason All-ACC receiver Tez Walker, whose eligibility fight has become a national story. The Tar Heels also saw the return of veteran running back British Brooks, who missed all of last season with a knee injury. (Chapelboro.com)
