UVa Survives Tar Heel Rally, 22-20
Posted Sep 16, 2007
Virginia withstood a furious North Carolina comeback in Butch Davis’ ACC opener, escaping Kenan Stadium with a 22-20 victory Saturday afternoon. It was a tale of two halves for the Tar Heels, who fought back from a 16-0 second quarter deficit on the arm of freshman sensation T.J. Yates. Held to only 17 yards passing through the first 23:41, the Marietta, Ga. native torched the UVa defense for 322 yards and three touchdowns the rest of the way.
