Fifth Quarter: Making sense of a wild weekend

Posted Nov 20, 2011
Ryan Houston’s déjà vu: As a freshman in 2007, Ryan Houston fumbled away a chance inside the 5-yard line in a UNC loss at Virginia Tech. Thursday, history repeated itself as Houston’s fumble on the 2 cost the Tar Heels a chance at an early 14-0 lead and proved equally as damaging as the Hokies rallied for a 24-21 win.
