Virginia Tech may be good, but not good enough on this night

Posted Oct 30, 2009
Officials called for the obligatory review. But Ryan Williams, distraught and prone on the Lane Stadium turf, told all. Virginia Tech's brilliant freshman tailback, the ACC's leading rusher, had fumbled. North Carolina had recovered. Everyone in the stands and national television audience Thursday night knew what to expect next. The Tar Heels churned out a first down against a suddenly helpless defense, milked the clock and lined up for a chip-shot field goal. (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
