North Carolina rightly won and deserved to win Music City Bowl

Posted Jan 8, 2011
Despite the griping and moaning abojt North Carolina being the beneficiaries of late-game breaks, the Tar Heels not only deserved to win the Music City Bowl they rightly won the game. The pro-Tennessee factions on the Internet are claiming that Volunteer defender Janzen Jackson should not have been called for a personal foul for leading with his helmet in hitting UNC receiver Todd Harrelson late in the game. Please look at the attached photo above and judge for yourself but, unless you're in denial, you'll see it's obvious that Jackson led with his head. (Capital Sports Report)
