Tar Heels top Vols 30-27 in wild finish

Posted Dec 30, 2010
Tennessee dropped North Carolina from its schedule for the next two years. Good call. The Volunteers don't want to see UNC again after Thursday's wild Music City Bowl. UNC won 30-27 in overtime after a controversial and confusing finish to regulation which saw UNC's Casey Barth kick a 39-yard field goal to force overtime after head official Dennis Lipski declared the game over.
