Tar Heels stun No. 14 Hokies 20-17 with late rally

Posted Oct 30, 2009
All Ryan Williams could do was sit and watch. One agonizing play at a time, the seconds ticking off the clock, North Carolina moved closer and closer to winning last night's game at Lane Stadium. Williams just sat on the bench, his head in his hands. His fumble with 2:02 left had given the Tar Heels the ball at the Hokies' 24-yard line. They ran six plays, then Casey Barth kicked a 21-yard field goal as the clock hit zeroes, giving Carolina a 20-17 victory (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
