Tar Heels finally get some 'relief'

Posted Sep 26, 2010
Perhaps UNCs football team finally can exhale. After losing their first two games while dealing with two ongoing investigations into agents and academics that has six defensive starters sitting out, the Tar Heels rallied to beat Rutgers 17-13 on Saturday at Rutgers Stadium for their first win of a once-promising season. "It's kind of a relief," said linebacker Bruce Carter, whose team avoided the program's first 0-3 start since 2003. (Durham Herald-Sun)
