Walston: A Desperate Team

Posted Nov 28, 2009
How do you beat a desperate team? N.C. State, with nothing else to play for, so badly wanted to beat North Carolina, to put a bruise on the face on the team from down the road. There were no bowl scouts looking at the 4-7 Wolfpack, so why not drag the Tar Heels down with them? Carolina's looking toward a game in late December, so why not punch them in the mouth on the way?
