Another Rivalry Loss

Posted Nov 28, 2009
UNC may have had more talent than N.C. State on Saturday, but it was the Wolfpack that made the plays when it mattered most as they pulled off the rivalry shocker to upset the Tar Heels, 28-27. UNC held a 10-point first-half lead three different times at Carter-Finley Stadium, eventually taking a 24-14 margin into the break. But Russell Wilson shook off a rough start and lit up the Tar Heels’ vaunted defense in the second half. (Inside Carolina)
