Hakeem Nicks’ Heroics Not Enough for Heels
Posted Dec 28, 2008
Two late North Carolina turnovers and a porous defense allowed West Virginia to overcome a fourth-quarter deficit, as well as Hakeem Nicks’ tantalizing career performance, to defeat the Tar Heels, 31-30, at the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Saturday. “It’s disappointing to lose the game, but I’m very proud of this football team and the strides that we’ve made,” UNC coach Butch Davis told reporters during his post-game press conference.
