Pat White had one more dazzling comeback in him before finishing his record-breaking college career. White threw for 332 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Alric Arnett midway through the fourth quarter that sent West Virginia to a 31-30 win over North Carolina in the Meineke Bowl. The senior quarterback was voted MVP of a bowl for the third straight year and finished 4-0 in postseason games, helping West Virginia overcome Hakeem Nicks' big day for UNC. (Tar Heel Blue)
