Tar Heels run out of time in first loss

Posted Sep 25, 2011
All that North Carolina coach Everett Withers said he wanted Saturday was a chance to drive the ball down the field at the end for a possible win on the road. "What more can you ask for a team?" he said. In the case of UNC's 35-28 loss at No. 25 Georgia Tech (4-0, 1-0 ACC), perhaps a bit more time. Or a few more defensive stops. Or a more-seasoned quarterback. (Raleigh News & Observer)
