Posted Nov 10, 2012
North Carolina controls its own destiny in the ACC’s Coastal Division, and a victory over Georgia Tech today at Kenan Stadium (12:30 p.m., WRAL) would put the Tar Heels two wins away from their first conference football title of any kind in 32 years. Senior guard Jonathan Cooper said the team won’t lack for motivation against the Yellow Jackets, who have won 12 of the past 14 games in the series. (Durham Herald-Sun)
