Tar Heels will tackle Terps

Posted Nov 15, 2008
The door is open for 17th-ranked UNC to win the ACC's Coastal Division, but it needs to win three straight, starting with today's 3:30 game at Maryland. UNC also needed Virginia Tech to lose at least once to have a shot at the title. Miami took care of that Thursday night, winning 16-14. "Coach Davis has said times that we want to play games that mean something," defensive lineman Marvin Austin said. "We want to play games with a blimp in the sky." (Winston-Salem Journal)
