Tar Heels Rally Falls Short

Posted Sep 5, 2010
No. 18 North Carolina almost pulled the shocker of the early college football season when its rally from 20 points down fell short. Despite two chances from the six-yard line to win the game, 21st ranked LSU held off the depleted Tar Heels Saturday in the Chick-Fil-A-Kickoff Classic, 30-24. “I don’t know if I've ever been prouder of a group of kids in the way that they fought to get themselves back into a ballgame,” UNC coach Butch Davis said.
