Tar Heels return to scene of big rout

Posted Sep 25, 2010

The Tar Heels are hoping to duplicate their last trip to New Jersey, a memorable 44-12 romp of Rutgers in September 2008. A memory that provides a shot of "positive energy for us," senior quarterback T.J. Yates said. (Raleigh News & Observer)
