Burden eased, Tar Heels look to salvage their season

Posted Sep 29, 2010
One game does not a season make. But in this case, it sure did make North Carolina’s season seem a lot less depressing. While the Tar Heels’ 17-13 win at Rutgers on Saturday didn’t exactly save their once-promising 2010 campaign, it did at least put coach Butch Davis’ team in a position to salvage something from its false start and allow it to feel good about itself...if only for a few days.
