Walston: Big-Time

Posted Nov 15, 2009
When Miami came to town, the Tar Heels were playing for more than bowl eligibility. With a 3:30 kickoff on ABC, it was a second chance at big-time football. And big-time football players make big-time plays, like Kendric Burney's three interceptions (not the first player to pull off a hat trick against Hurricanes this season, but I digress) and Ryan Houston's pounding away at the Miami defense.
