Tudor: Flat Heels dodge upset

Posted Oct 30, 2010
Regardless of where, when and how this gripping football season ends for North Carolina, an opportune 21-17 win over William & Mary on Saturday will be remembered as an unlikely landmark. On homecoming and in perfect weather before hundreds of empty seats and a dispassionate audience in Kenan Stadium, the Tar Heels barely dodged an upset that would have taxed the team’s resolve and perhaps cut deeply into Butch Davis’ popularity.
