Pianalto, Tar Heels down but not out

Posted Sep 6, 2010
Zack Pianalto felt about as low as humanly possible late Saturday. UNC turned to him twice in the final six seconds of a 30-24 loss to LSU in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game at the Georgia Dome on passes from quarterback T.J. Yates in the end zone from the 6-yard line. And twice Pianalto was unable to make a game-winning catch, although he had his hands on the ball on both plays in tight coverage by LSU defenders. (Winston-Salem Journal)
