Heels use balanced attack to get revenge on ECU
Posted Sep 19, 2009
If UNC rookie wide receiver Erik Highsmith had his breakout game against any other team, it wouldn't have been nearly as sweet. The freshman found the perfect revenge for East Carolina not offering him a scholarship when he racked up a career-high 113 yards receiving and scored a touchdown in the No. 24 Tar Heels' 31-17 victory against the Pirates. "I tried to embarrass them a little bit," Highsmith said with a big smile. Highsmith wasn't the only one.
