The battle royale: South Carolina at North Carolina

Posted Oct 13, 2007

Just when North Carolina fans thought it might be safe to turn their attention to basketball (practice opened Friday night), the Tar Heels (2-4) beat Miami last week, and South Carolina (5-1) is coming to town. The natural rivals (who is the "real" Carolina, anyway?) haven't played since 1991. Quarterback T.J. Yates hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in three games -- and it might be four after today.
