First down, Tar Heels. Clock winding down in the fourth quarter. Narrow lead. It happened against Maryland. Tailback Anthony Elzy gains a first down on two running plays and picks up seven more on first down. But then he's stuffed for one yard and no gain and Carolina punts, giving the Terrapins one final hope. But the Tar Heel defense holds and Carolina emerges with a 16-13 win. (Tar Heel Blue)
