Tar Heels say their 2007 loss to Pirates still stings
Posted Sep 15, 2009
North Carolina will be trying to erase a bitter memory on Saturday when its rivalry with East Carolina resumes in Kenan Stadium. ECU won the last game in the series in 2007, taking a 34-31 win in Greenville in Coach Butch Davis' first season. The winning points came on a field goal in the final seconds. Deunta Williams, a junior safety, still thinks that UNC's 4-8 season would have been successful had it won that game.
