Tar Heels cruise to win Posted Oct 11, 2009 UNC got a much-needed victory with its 42-12 rout of Georgia Southern on Saturday. The Eagles got a taste of ACC football. Georgia Southern brought a rich tradition of success in the Southern Conference and the Football Championship Subdivision into its first meeting with North Carolina and its first-ever game against a member of the ACC. It was a rousing success for the Tar Heels; a nightmare for the Eagles. (Shelby Star)
