Ponder leads rally as Florida State tops N. Carolina

Posted Oct 23, 2009
With Christian Ponder throwing for nearly 400 yards against a North Carolina defense that entered the game leading the nation in passing defense, the Seminoles rallied from a substantial halftime deficit and scored a stunning 30-27 victory. The comeback win marked FSU's first victory in a month and helped the Seminoles erase the awful memory of a 49-44 loss to Georgia Tech less than two weeks ago. (Miami Herald)
