Oh, so close, but Tar Heels fall to Virginia
Posted Sep 16, 2007
"I told this team before the season that there would be an awful lot of games that would come down to a very, very small margin of whether or not you had a chance to win," said UNC coach Butch Davis. This was one of those games. Peerman's run was the last of several close plays that went against the Tar Heels. Had any of them gone the other way, the outcome, a 22-20 victory for Virginia, might very well have been reversed.
