Armstrong: The 5 biggest NC State-UNC football rivalry moments (since I've been here)

Posted Nov 24, 2017
Saturday will be my 13th NC State vs UNC football game at ABC11. That hardly makes me an elder media statesman, but I've been on this beat long enough to see some things between these teams. Here then, are the top 5 rivalry moments of my tenure. 2012 - Chapel Hill. THEY KICKED IT TO GIO. The beauty here being that WR Roy Smith was supposed to return the punt. (ABC 11)
