Comeback sets N. Carolina on its heels

Posted Oct 23, 2009
The Tar Heels came out playing like it was a big game. Ahead 18 points during the third quarter, they were on their way to a resounding victory against Florida State. They forgot one thing: They forgot to finish. Instead of being remembered as the Thursday night ESPN came to Kenan Stadium for the first time, this 30-27 loss will be remembered as the Thursday night the Tar Heels' season started to slip from their grasp.
