Tar Heels' road to Roanoke paved in fond memories
Posted Nov 17, 2011
North Carolina defensive tackle Tydreke Powell has experienced his share of rabid crowds. But nothing tops the Tar Heels’ trip to Virginia Tech two years ago. “To this day, I ain’t been in a stadium as loud as V-Tech,” Powell said. Powell would know. Two years ago, he caused a fumble at the Virginia Tech 24 with two minutes left in a tie game, allowing teammate Casey Barth to kick the winning field goal as time expired.
