Extra Points: Deacons Bounce "Accommodating" Tar Heels


It was, said the Tar Heel football coach, the "most complete collapse I have ever seen." Players chose words and phrases like inconceivable, devastating, tragedy and shock to describe their feelings in the aftermath of the loss to Wake Forest. Since that afternoon in November 2001, the Carolina-Wake Forest football rivalry has never been the same. The Deacons of first-year coach Jim Grobe rallied from a 24-0 halftime deficit to collect a stunning 32-31 triumph in Kenan Stadium in the Tar Heels' 10th game of 's first season as Carolina's coach.
