Posted Oct 30, 2009
Casey Barth kicked a 21-yard field goal on the final play and North Carolina stopped No. 14 Virginia Tech all night in a 20-17 victory on Thursday night. The Tar Heels got their first conference win after forcing a fumble by Ryan Williams at his own 24 with 2:02 left and turning it into the winning drive. The Hokies, who until losing to No. 11 Georgia Tech 12 days ago were in the national championship picture, lost their second straight.
